a bit of snow

Yesterday's storm created a chill in the air and left us with just a bit of snow.

winter color

A walk in the woods shows many shades of grays and browns.

Luckily pine needles add color with a pop of green.

skim ice

Ponds in Harold Parker State Forest are showing skim ice, the first step in forming a solid surface.

Reflections can still be seen in between the patches of ice.

faded

Wildflowers fade, becoming brittle, lacking color, greeting winter.

Subtle beauty remains.

changing sky

It was a day with a constant changing sky, a day that felt like a good day to walk by the sea before the predicted rain arrives.

I had a wonderful low tide walk at the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge. I shared the beach with many birds and just a couple of other humans.

winter

Winter (and December!) is here. Meteorological winter started on the 1st of the month; chill air tells me the season is here.

The ponds at Harold Parker State Forest are even starting to wear a skim coat of ice. The ice can be seen close to the shoreline, interrupting the reflection of the trees.
