Freeze. Thaw. Freeze. Thaw. That seems to be the theme lately. Winter can’t seem to make up its mind. Right now we’re having extremely mild weather. Daytime highs of nearly 60ºF. Rain instead of snow. The icy white blanket that covered our yard has nearly all melted away. Just a few weeks ago our pool looked like an ice skating rink, and if I wasn’t so afraid of tearing the pool cover I’d have gone skating! Now it’s taken on the persona of a reflecting pool.
I liked the reflections of the trees and the way some leaves scattered themselves around.
I imagine it won’t be long before Winter decides to make its return. Blustery winds, snow, frozen ground. Come on, Winter, bring it on! What are you waiting for?
:grin: Be careful what you wish for!!!
I like the reflection too, especially that second one. It looks like the trees are reaching out for a hug. Maybe they are confused by the weather too?

Krista, I know but I am ready for some nasty weather. I just hope it holds off until after our Cancun vacation!

I like your pictures; they are eerie and beautiful. We have had strange winter weather in Indiana too. New Year’s day, we shoveled several inches of snow. This past Sunday the temperature reached 65. Monday night, we had flooding rains. Now, we are back to cold temperatures; it is currently 39.

Thanks MJD!
Letty, the paw prints are exactly why I chose that particular photo over others! Clever of you to spot them!
