this morning I was treated to this lovely view of the sky and moon over the neighbour’s house…

when I get out of bed, the first thing I do is look outside and enjoy whatever I see… sometimes it is the sun coming up through the neighbourhood houses, sometimes a bunny, sometimes it is overcast… just yesterday I saw the first grackle of the season…

I enjoy starting the day intentionally by checking out the sky…

up early on Friday to put out the box of pass-me-along items…

had to go back upstairs and get the phone to take a few shots of the beautiful moon…

tried to use my Nikon, but the battery was dead, lol… it is now sitting on the counter getting charged… I think I’ve hit something that is keeping it on wifi all the time which is why the battery keeps dying… going to have to do a bit of research to fix that😳…

so, the moon isn’t quite as clear as I was hoping for, but it does show how beautiful the morning was;-)…

good start to the day;-)…

the trees have been stunningly beautiful over the last while…

quite a bit of that time the sky was gray so even though it was lovely, it didn’t make for any great photos…

the last few days the sun has been shining brightly…

this frost appears to be rime frost…

from Weather Lab:

“With rime, the moisture comes from freezing fog water droplets that turn directly from a liquid state to a solid state, or through direct freezing. On the other hand, hoar frost occurs on a clear, cold night where water vapor sublimates: transitioning immediately from a gaseous state to a solid state.” Jan 5, 2021

we have certainly had a lot of fog recently…

the past week the sky has been outstanding…

Monday the sunset was a deep red… and within minutes changed to a lovely pink…

Tuesday morning was another stunner…

Wednesday evening, the blues and pinks were lovely…

and Thursday the deep reds were back…

Friday I was a touch late getting a photo, but caught the last little bit of light before the sun went down…

so pleased to have enjoyed all of these views of the sun…

I was surprised this morning when I looked out the window and spotted the hoarfrost on the trees…

it is such a gift of nature and looks so delicate (apparently like feathers)… I spent some time researching the difference between rime ice and hoarfrost, once I came across the term, lol… still not a hundred percent sure I understand…

hoarfrost always reminds me of my last drive with my beloved… he drove me around the Park and a few neighbourhoods so that I could take pictures of the beautiful designs that morning…

it was just a few days before his death…

but now, the sight of hoarfrost on the trees reminds me of wonderful times together;-)… I truly am blessed…

today I woke to this view of the sky…

and a bit later I took this photo of the front yard to show someone how much snow was on the ground…

a tiny bit of snow had fallen yesterday and overnight and we are waiting for a storm tonight so I expect there will be more to shovel tomorrow…

the other day, four trucks took over the street…

I went to look out the window to see what was going on and discovered they were cutting down one of the elm trees on the boulevard…

I watched most of the process…

they had a bucket and the person in it cut down the small branches at the top and they moved it down bit by bit… between cuts, people on the ground gathered up the pieces and put them through the chipper…

finally they put a rope around what was left and there were a number of final cuts as they tried to pull the last 20 feet of it over…

it took quite a few tries to get it to topple over and the ground shook when it landed…

another hole in the sky…

last night a friend called and suggested I check out the moon…

it was a sliver in the sky with a very bright Venus above it…

I dug out the tripod, which was deep in a closet, and headed to the front step… even though it was cold, I took a few minutes and got some good photos…

so happy to have received that call;-)…

had some fun at the dining room window this afternoon… trying to get a photo of the icicles dripping…

not really successful, but got some lovely photos… took a lot… the icicles refused to drip when I wanted them to, lol…

the sky was quite lovely too…
