About Winter

I love how colors change this time of year. The whiteness of the snow and the dark shades of the trees seem to amplify a monochromatic scheme. There are shades and tones rather than color. Part of that is due to the Great Lake called Erie. It gives NE Ohio cloud cover for more days than not, it seems. If one looks carefully, though, colors pop. It’s really wonderful when that happens, I think.

Beautiful! I love early evening on snow — so pink, then violet, then blue.

Oh yes…those photos remind me of my years on the OTHER side of Lake Erie. Our temps should be back up to 60F by the end of the week. I’ll have a margarita on my deck in your honor.

Girl…you’ve got yourself some gimongous icicles! Good thing they’re low to the ground and you don’t have to walk beneath them.

I see what you mean – but it is quite lovely.

The icicles are stellar this year! More snow expected overnight, but we’re supposed to have sunshine!!!

I can relate to those icicles. Our south side gets a tremendous amount of them. Also, Paige and I were just talking about this a little while ago … The community center is a few blocks from here. They use saw horses and hazard signs to block off their west sidewalk because there are treacherous, huge icicles above and always a skating pond of a walk below that in the winter.

There’s nothing like a bright red male cardinal in the snow. I enjoyed your photos and as much as I don’t like being cold and walking on the ice, I think they are beautiful to behold and are simply a part of the cycle of our lives.

Oh, thanks for this , Debra. You named a sensory experience I’d almost forgotten, but so true and such a pleasure! Here’s to winter!
