Where I live in the Southern Tier of New York, blue skies in winter are usually associated with ice cold temperatures.
But Nature gave us a treat this year on the first day of winter. Blue skies and temperatures above freezing. We headed to Otsiningo Park for an outdoor walk.
Celebrate being able to see the sun! (the frozen strip running across the picture is a pond).
In the quick moving river, shadows were visible.
Another river view.
The perfect mix of snow, turned off Christmas lights, trees, and hills.
One more - a frozen puddle.
Wishing all my readers, far and near, the happiest of holiday seasons, and a Happy New Year to all.

...blue skies in winter are special.
ReplyDeleteThe sky here has not been very pretty at all, neither has the temperature. Wishing you a happy holiday season and New Year as well.
ReplyDeleteYes, blue skies in winter are sort of dreaded! And before them come snow squalls bringing in that cold air. You were very fortunate! Happy holidays!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! Our skies were clear yesterday. But we did get the cold. -40. (F or C) Ugh.
ReplyDeleteI like your world better! ;)
Beautiful weather. White snow really makes a difference to scenery
ReplyDeleteYour blue skies and the white snow go together. We have similar scenes here today but it is too cold for me to get out, cuz I'm a big weather chicken.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!!
Ah, they're doing the hoop thing too where you are. It's only been the last couple years that that's been in fashion. A few homes have put up triangles along the sidewalk, too, kind of like Christmas trees.
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays!!!!!!

Your fall turned white quickly! It's so beautiful. I don't want to live in it (did that one year only), but I like it for a few days.
ReplyDeleteLovely weather you have, the skies are blue which makes it all the more wonderful! Merry Christmas!! ~ Ms. Donyarific
