Taken February 8.
Much of our snow has melted in the past few days, but Nature has determined we need to get a snow refill. Hopefully, the nor'easter hitting the East Coast won't bring too much snow to my inland area.
And, here's a bonus for you for this historic Sunday.
Years ago, February 22 would have been a holiday celebrating our first President, George Washington. Here's a picture I took of a Gilbert Stewart painting of George Washington while my spouse and I were visiting Arkansas in 2013. This portrait was painted in 1797.

We are expecting up to 2 feet of snow here on Long Island. It’s going to be “fun”.
ReplyDeleteI like the portrait.
Snow on sunny days can make for great shadows, like yours!
ReplyDelete...Saint Washington the slave owner!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's a fact that many of our Founding Fathers enslaved people when a percentage of people of those times were already acknowledging it shouldn't have been allowed in our young country any longer. We as a people must acknowledge this stain on our history and oppose the people trying to remove this fact from our history. It should also be acknowledged that Washington refused to be made a king, and that also changed the course of our history.
DeleteAnother snowstorm! I hope it's not too brutal :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I do hope you don't get hit too hard. Whenever I ask my son in RI about storms, they seem to miss the worst of them. On a field trip years ago we were told Washington was adamant he NOT be on any money! Now we have a President who tries to put his image and name on everything he sees.
ReplyDeleteNo snow for us - nothing but clear blue skies today. A beautiful late winter day.
ReplyDeleteWashington was very much a man of his times. We owe him and the other Founders so much and yet we cannot fail to acknowledge that they were human and they had human frailties. Can we say that we are any better? Our frailties may be different but they are still frailties.
We got snow here in Montreal the other day! I am fortunate that I love Winter and snow. It's the ice that concerns me because I don't want to fall! Your snow and shadow photo is lovely! Thank you so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI hope the snow will not be too bad for you.
ReplyDeleteNo sun, no shadow
ReplyDeleteSending you warming thoughts. May the storm not bring as much snow as anticipated.
