Thaw Day

We had our snow days earlier this month and now is the January thaw. The past two days we've had highs in the 40's and a sort of vague spring fever hits us when this happens. I managed a walk on the lake, skirting mud, slush puddles and snow to get these photos. The skies were just stunning.

A snowy windshield and unusual focus makes for an interesting abstract image. Here is a second image:

Snowy Afternoon

I have been taking pictures from my car. It turns out the windshield doesn't obscure the image all that much. It has the advantage of not requiring me to look for parking or get out when it is cold or blustery. Occasionally it might be a stupid move but anything for a good shot (or maybe not).

Looking Up

Happy 2015. I am trying to convince myself to post more regularly but every time I think I will I let it slide. Here is a picture of the ceiling of the train station in Limoges, France. It is a lovely place and makes one want to depart on an adventure. For Photo Sunday: Circular

On Vacationing in France

Wow, it has been a long time since my last post. The theme for Photo Sunday is castle and the joy of the countryside in France is I get to ask the unlikely question of: "Which one?" This is Chateau de la Bussiere which as well as being scenic has a wonderful garden and an interesting collection of fishing memorabilia in the interior.
