A Spot of Winter Color #SkywatchFriday

It's been so cold, with icy sidewalks, that I've only gone out for necessary things - no sky pictures for this week.  So I am using couple of pictures I took last week where I live in the Southern Tier of New York.

 

This February 13 reflection in a puddle surrounded by slush, while the sun was out and some melting was taking place, caught my eye. 

This, taken February 11, is more like what we see too much of the time during the winter.  Can you tell that I am sick of winter?  I'm not one for the pleasures of winters.  I long for green and flowers but know that the pleasures of spring come out of this type of weather for us.

We did have a brief thaw last weekend where a lot of the snow melted, and the Canadian geese returned to a local park, taken February 15. Now, the ground is covered again, with both snow and ice, including lake effect snows we got late yesterday afternoon into the evening.

  4. I like the puddle photo. It's cold here now, but next week we are heading into the 60's. Can't wait for spring.

  5. Not that I'm sick of winter or anything, but I've been doing a daily countdown until spring. 27 more days as of today, btw.
