Willy Nilly Friday Five - March 15, 2019

Hello & Welcome!

Many thanks to everyone who commented on my last post about our sweet Caramel.  She is doing very well and you would never know that she even went through such an ordeal.

So today I'm joining Tom (The Backroads Traveller) for:
WILLY NILLY FRIDAY FIVE.

1.  A couple of (Snow) what a four letter word that became in February and into the first couple of weeks of  March.   Both of these shots were used for the 52 Frames project I participate in.

 This one was for: City at Night.  There was no way I was going out at night in this to get a photo so I took this looking down the street I live on.

This one was for:  Negative Space.  I tried to find some humor in all that snow.

2.  Okay more winter stuff...sorry but that's about all we've seen around here for the last 2 months.

Robins in February (a little early for spring) enjoying Hawthorne Berries.

Ice formation - I like the colors in this shot and the abstract look of the frozen water.

3.  A winter sky with Geese.

4.  Something more colorful:

One section of a large mural in the cafeteria at the Middle School Coleen attends. 

5.  One more snow shot:  Someone had some fun with the white stuff.  We think this is a (horse?)

Finally a dose of cuteness:  Gidget enjoying yesterday's sunshine.

Waiting for the arrival of Spring next week (and my birthday) I leave you with:

                                       Have a beautiful weekend.

I saw this quote and just couldn't resist posting it.

1.  It "Snowed" here yesterday.

                                                     "My Hero"

  Oh goodie gumdrops!  Most of you probably know I'm not a big fan of winter or snow but this year I'm trying to find it's special beauty. My friend Debbie, (It's All About Purple) is teaching me that snow makes for great photo opts and you know, she's right.

2.  Dogs like snow...

Pixie went crazy when I took her out.

 

Cricket had a grand time too.

 

3.  Crows come out to eat no matter what kind of weather you are having.

 



I stomped down the area around the telephone pole where I normally put out the peanuts and threw some on the freshly plowed sidewalk and within minutes there were quite a number of crows grabbing up the peanuts right and left.

 

4.   There is nothing more joyous then a child's smile.

 

 

5.  Sugar/Cinnamon Toast is a perfect breakfast on a cold snowy morning.

 

 

 

Bonus thought.... Spring will eventually arrive. - I saw Robin's earlier this week.

 

                                            

                     Edited in Pic Monkey to give it the watercolor look.

 

 

Have a great weekend.  It's supposed to snow again today and maybe tomorrow as well.  Then next week they say we may get up to nearly 50 degree's.
