Daily Pics #30.
Good morning everyone! It’s another very cold morning with the temp at -26C (-15F) and the wind bringing that temp down to -40 (temp is the same C or F at this point). Another coffee morning, sitting beside a fireplace in a log cabin, nice a cozy. No, don’t have a log cabin or a fireplace, but I like to dream a bit. Feels good. Especially on a cold winter day. Looking outside at all that white snow makes it feel even colder. Then I go outside. It’s hard to breathe. I not only freeze on the outside, but on the inside too. No wonder it takes so long to warm up when I come back inside. Good thing I don’t stay out there long. Oh well. Time to look at some pictures of warmer times…
Here is a different shot of a nice Oriental poppy. They are such an amazingly bright orange, they really stand out in the garden.
And here we have a different variety of a bright and beautiful daffodil.
I hope everyone has a bright and wonderful Wednesday, God bless!
