These were both taken recently… the above is one of those trees that holds onto their leaves until spring. Just to make sure that there is raking year round, I guess.
Branches and Sky
Winter Branches
It’s hard to be patient … waiting for spring. But it will come and the trees will all be covered with leaves again, hiding their twigs and branches.
22 Degree Solar Halo
We were out at Finn River Farm (in Chimacum, Washington, about 10 miles south of Port Townsend) getting some dinner and were waiting outside. It was the first weekend in November and we were very lucky to get a sunny day. Even luckier was to be treated to this natural light show. The other folks that were around didn’t seem to have even noticed. This solar halo occurs when the sunlight is reflected by ice crystals high in the atmosphere.
Cloudscape
I have shown photos of this pond before, but the clouds are always different. This day they were particularly dramatic.
Tree Huggers
I just couldn’t resist.
