41 Fowl Attitude – Sunday, February 10th, 2008

I raced down to the Lake to catch the site of the snow falling on the water. This Swan Goose became immediately agitated at my presence and tracked my movement around the Lake’s edge. I decided to simply ignore her and continued to snap pictures until she came very close and began hissing. Sheesh, I guess not everybody likes snowfall on Lake Afton as much as I do.

Happy Friday!

If you’re at all familiar with Yardley, you’ll instantly recognize the home featured in this surface reflection. This is the large yellow Victorian home facing Lake Afton.

I thought it might be interesting to share some statistical pictures of Yardley in addition to the photographic ones.

33 Ok, Everybody FREEZE! – Saturday, February 2nd, 2008

Tell me you can look at this shot and not think FREEZE!

This was taken early enough in the morning that nobody else was even on the ice yet and as I looked up at the trees, they seemed to be striking some eternal, frozen robot dance pose.

As I type this, the temperature is in the twenties outside. This cold makes me miss spring… and summer… and leaves that are still on trees… and grass so green that it stains your sneaks… and sneezing from pollen (ok – maybe not that, so much)… oh, and barbeque’s… and running outside without 11 layers of clothing…  and the beach!

C’mon April… lets get this show on the road!
