On the Rise!
Yes, the temperatures are beginning the upward swing that the weatherman predicted!
I had hoped to catch some good photos today, but once again, other duties beckoned. As I was about to saunter to the mailbox, I did reach for my Nikon. Even when I am pressed for time, there are photos to be taken, after all!
I passed the Explorer sitting in the driveway….the question is…..was the Explorer crying from the cold, or, was it sweating in the heat of the sunshine pounding down upon its dark exterior? I took this photo about noon, and it was still very cold. We didn’t press into double digits until about 1 or 2 this afternoon!
I ambled on down the road to the area where Ben and I took photos of the ice formations the other day. Instead of seeing water trickling around and through beautiful ice sculptures, the water that normally rushes over that big flat rock looked as though it was frozen…..suddenly and almost violently!
Since I only had the 18mm-55mm lens on the camera, I was going to close in a little by walking towards the area above. Stupid move! I had forgotten about the town’s “double ditch” effort alongside the road. For one reason or another, a couple of years ago, the superintendent of highways had a second ditch dug along the road. This ditch isn’t nearly the depth of the first ditch, but as I stepped off the road, my legs sank down and my memory quickly recalled that dumb ditch. God forbid a car ever loses control and ends up there, although it would be less dangerous than the deep boulder-filled ditch beyond it with a depth that would easily “swallow” a whole car!
The photo above was taken at the end of the driveway, looking westward. It was so cold, but the sky was mostly clear and blue all day.
The last photo…well, I suppose you can guess what that is?

The abominable snowman was here? or just the photographer!!!
I hope that is a print from your Crocs WITHOUT holes!?!
OH my goodness! I never even thought that a photo honed in on my footprint would make it appear to be so HUGE! I honestly do NOT have abominable snowman sized feet! hahaha!!!!
Carly…of COURSE those are my blue Crocs! The pink ones would freeze my toes!!!!!
First off how on earth can you stand up in your Crocs on snow? I nearly killed myself in my Crocs! Second… what were you thinking when you stepped near that ditch? That could have been camera abuse!! lol j/k good thing you didn’t fall or get hurt.
I recognized the Crocs immediately! I wear them ALL THE TIME! I have holes, no holes, fur lined with holes, and the ones with leather tops…I have them in lime, red, navy, black and purple. I don’t find them slippery except on wet ice. In fact, they are much less slippery than most of my shoes!
