The Sunset from a different vantage!

The windows caught the sun's reflection almost perfectly!

Frost Bow

These only happen when it's cold and it's foggy!  I dislike fog intensely.  It makes me ache and a hibernating bear would be better company.  Still, it's almost worth it when you get one of these.  Just  amazingly beautiful, and very, very cold!

Louise's Icicle!

I'm out playing in the ice again.  But while sitting at my computer I noticed this monster on the house next door.  Off I went, camera in hand.  I think being a desert creature most of my life has given me an ungodly fascination with anything that has to do with water!  I just had to have this photo!!

Ice Window!

When it gets very cold, sometimes, ice happens in unusual ways.   This is one of them.  My garden window caught just enough water for this.  The sun just topped the Sonomas.  Groggily, it was early for me, I went for my camera.  This is the morning of  the -27.

Oh yes, the plants all survived!

Sun looks warmer than it is!

It's so cold that getting shots is more than uncomfortable, it's downright painful.  But when the sun is this glorious, you just have to do it.  (Then spend the next several hours unthawing!)   Since this was taken, we've had snow and it's much colder.  We'll see if I'm crazy enough to go out for more photos!

Weeds! Again!

I tried to get the sun glistening off these seed heads.  I didn't quite get it, but I did get a beautiful picture os the seed heads themselves.  I have an excuse for leaving these.  A friend told me to leave some so the bees that winter over have something to eat.  That makes my laziness altruistic!  I love it!
