Summing up the month of February

Here is a collage to sum up the month of February. Be sure to click on it to view it full size!

Pine tracks

So long ago, I asked you to guess what made these tracks. I said I'd post the answer next Sunday, but instead, I entirely forgot. So here is the answer, a few weeks late. They were made by a pine cone, rolling along on the ground. When I first saw it, I thought maybe it was made by some kind of snake!

It snowed 7 inches of very heavy and wet snow last night. Never got below 32 degrees either, so things are melting fast. I snapped this picture of some icicles on the roof, all fuzzy with snow.

Tapping

I set out two maple taps today in a red maple (no sugar maples in my yard). The sap seems to be running well, I can't wait to boil it!

Houston, we've lost gravity....

After the storm....

Here is a photo of after the supposed seven inches of snow. It came closer to two inches and most of that was blown away by the wind. Oh well, I'm sure people in Virgina are rather envious of this as they try to dig their way out!

Testing....

Tomorrow there is meant to be a bunch of snow (like 7 inches) so here is a before photo. I'll take an after photo too and post it whether it really snows that much or not!

What?????

What made this track? Take a guess in the comments, and I'll reveal the answer next Sunday!

A sunrise

This unretouched photo was taken two years ago. One of those sunrises that was worth cold feet!

Summing it up

Here are 31 photos from the month of January, 2010. Click on the image so that you can see it full sized and do it justice! The moon photo I promised you is the second one up, on the far right. I promise that I did not download that picture off the web! It was shot by me at 11 o'clock at night and my fingers are still frozen enough to prove it.

In broad nightlight....

There was a great moon out last night. According to SpaceWeather, it was 14% wider and 30% brighter then your average moon. It was also much, much colder than the average tempature this week so I took this photo from the living room window.
I used a 15 second exposure, but this is really what it looked like. I also took a picture of the moon on an 80x zoom, which you can see tomorrow.

Frozen wonder

I took this photo the day after I got my new camera. I love how the water frothed and bubbled beneath the ice of a stream.

Fairy house

Doesn't this look like a fairy lives beneath the turkey tails? A little home for a little person

At this time, 5 years ago....

I lived in Utah, where it is always sunny after a snow storm

Morning beauty

I woke up this morning to a thick blanket of snow. When I took this photo, I didn't even realize that it was still snowing until the flash lit up the flakes! It remains a dreamy winter wonderland out there....
