There was a lot of excitement over the weekend about a big storm coming through the area. I was out that day, but it began to snow around 3pm. I watched it coming down and still felt that excitement I had when I was a kid. Back then it mean a chance that school would be closed, but now it’s more about the quiet that snow brings. It coats everything in this gorgeous, pristine white. I drove home around dusk and snapped these photos. I love how blue the light is at that hour.
stormy weather
This week has had so many sudden downpours, thunderstorms and shifting skies. I am always looking at the clouds, Here are some recent snaps…
foggy mornings...
The weather has been so odd for January. Typically it is gray and cold but this week it was unusually warm with morning fog that didn’t lift for hours. I took these on my drive yesterday. So eerie!
Now THAT's a cloud!
I’ve seen some pretty scary storms roll in when i lived down in Texas, but the other night i was surprised to see such an ominous cloud out my back window. Wow. The rain soon followed and it was all over in 20 minutes.
a foggy walk
Took the most amazing walk yesterday. It wasn’t so foggy when I started out but about a mile in, I could barely see more than 500 feet or so. I’m always reflecting when I am walking…this has been the most bizarre year on record. I think about just how radically our lives have changed and also how we have adapted. I always feel peaceful when I am outside and in nature. It’s hard not to be. I write a lot in my head and seem to be able to problem solve as I go––making notes on my phone then running back home to scribble an idea. I am grateful for my walks. I am grateful for so much.
