My patrol leader looks back to see what the hold up is. Just another photo op, buddy.
Month: November 2014
Landscape security
The security set up for the almost-dead-yew in the front yard is a home-made chicken wire shield (it doubles as a crow guard for the weekly garbage bag left at the end of the driveway); this device keeps deer from eating the yew leaves during the winter. The yew itself looks a bit sad due to my not protecting it very well in the past (it is about twenty years old).
Eleven inches of snow on Thanksgiving eve is somewhat unusual but we were thankful that we had power.
The hole stump
The curving obelisk
This old tree has lost all its bark and stands proudly in the forest as if it was a carefully carved sculpture.
Ice layer leaves
The theme of the week: ice. In a small patch of leaves, layers of ice slowly create one level after another.
Frozen in time
This bog water is frozen solid but looks fluid; branches, grasses, leaves, and air bubbles are captured during this week.
Summer reminder
As we approach the colder seasons, I thought it was a good time to remember the summer; this was a peaceful sunset on Lake Contoocook in southern New Hampshire. The iconic Mount Monadnock is visible on the horizon toward the right side. The wide angle photo reduces the mountain’s impact to almost an after thought.
I like this image because it looks like one can see the night approaching.
