Daily Pics 2020…#43.
Good morning everyone on this chilly Wednesday! Oh my, what a big difference from yesterday when it was so mild with melting snow. And today with the north wind blowing it pushes that temp down to -33F (-37C). But that’s winter around here. Chills right to the bones at times. But we can almost see the beginnings of spring far off on the horizon. Almost. With a little imagination anyway.😂😹I know people who get quite excited about seeing snow, because they don’t normally see it. But, up here the excitement wears off rather quickly when it stays white for months on end and there’s more than a meter of it sitting on the ground, and winter is still only half over. Sigh. Personally I would prefer to live in a place that is warm all year, palm trees growing, no snow at all. I like to dream.😂😹
And now for today’s pics…
And we will start off with a nice sunny Canada goldenrod, just one of many species of goldenrod we have around this area and always so nice and bright.
And here we have a beautiful rusty red dragonfly. This little dragonfly is quite common but they are only about half the size of regular dragonflies and their wings are also quite different. They come in two other colors as well.
And there we have our nice summer thoughts pictures for today. I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday and God bless!

Nature’s Art…#17.
Hi everyone! I hope you are all having a great day! It is a very nice mild day here. I went outside this afternoon and the sun was shining on my deck, and the snow was actually melting leaving water laying around. The temp is 26F (-3C), but that sun is getting stronger every day and being higher in the sky, the snow will still melt even when the temp isn’t warm enough. But because of the milder weather there hasn’t been much activity at the bird feeders. The squirrel, however, was certainly having fun again running through the branches of the trees. He has a regular “highway” as he runs along the branches from tree to tree. So much fun to watch him go, clearing snow off branches as he runs along. There is a lot of beauty to see out there if we just take some time to look for it.
And now for our art in nature pics for today…
This little mushroom looks like it has a delicious caramel top on it. The white is just the glare from the sun hitting it when I took the picture. It is very smooth and almost waxy. Unfortunately I don’t know the name yet or if it is edible.
I don’t know the name of these alien looking mushrooms either, but I did find a lot of them in one area along my forest path.
There we have our pics for today, I certainly hope you have enjoyed them, enjoy your day and God bless!
