Why certain things catch my eye.
It was probably the way the light hit it. I was fascinated by this seed head in a field near the hotel. It reminded me a bit of pasque flower seed pods. Surely its nickname has beard in it somewhere. I don’t have enough of the language to ask anyone what it is.
Today it’s raining.
Earlier this week we had some haze from wildfires in the upper atmosphere. It gave a kind of eerie, other-world feel.
But the weather shifted and the past couple of days we’ve had some interesting rather choppy clouds.

For Jez Braithwaite’s Water, Water Everywhere…and Cee’s Flower of the Day.
These aren’t what you normally think of when you think of spring flowers, but, if you look very close, you can see that these alder catkins are clusters of little dark pink flowers.
From a distance the alders have a pink/orange patina due to the color of the catkins (they are the deciduous trees with the light trunks).
For Cee’s Flower of the Day and Denzil Nature Photo Challenge: Pink.
The seasons the spin around again…the years keep rolling by.
I captured a few photos of winter edging toward spring while walking the dog yesterday.
In a deep and dark December.
Today is mid-winter. Here is a gallery from this, the shortest day of the year. It’s being a chilly one!
Brrrr!
Hope you are all able to stay safe and warm this winter.
Tagging Hammad Rais’s Weekend Sky.
Some photos I took last week of my dad’s dog, Max. In a rare period where she was holding still enough to take a picture.
Max is a girl. Dad likes short easy to spell names, his last dog, also female, was Sam. I guess we kids were lucky that he wasn’t tasked with naming us.
I used Topaz Studio 2 Impression and Texture filters on Max, Dad is beyond help.
A literal interpretation of Cee’s Mid-week Madness Challenge: forest or dark green.
