Northern Flicker

Haven't seen a Flicker for several years so I was pretty happy to come across one at Elizabeth Park yesterday. Of course, with all the fog and the fact he was way up in the tree made for a poor image. I love this Woodpecker....the black moustache and the heart shaped red on the back of the head plus the speckled breast....he is a beauty!

Lost Winter

Two weeks today, we had this wonderful snowfall. It was so beautiful.every branch and twig coated with snow. Someone actually asked if I used infrared and I responded "No, that is just Mother Nature"

So yesterday and this morning we had freezing fog but seeing the weather forecast, I see warmer temperatures and no snow in sight. After two harsh winter, I think we are catching a break this year or so it is predicted. Still, I love walking in the snow and taking photos. Will this be a winter that wasn't?

I guess that I loved this fence.

Mizzle

Don't know what was going on this morning....fog? drizzle? freezing mist? I like to call it mizzle. When I got up this morning and looked out the window I jumped to it and got out there bright and early, well, not bright exactly. Driving visibility was not good but I had great fun taking photos at Elizabeth Park in Trenton. Everything had a different perspective and a black and white look. Tons more to edit and post.

This picture was posted on facebook by our local news. This is all that was visible of Detroit this morning. I wonder who took the picture. I see the tallest tower of the RenCen in the background.

A Bleak and Dreary Day

 It was foggy this morning and the rest of the day turned into dank and wet weather.....very depressing. I thought I would find some photos to cheer me up. These were all taken on the same day in June 2013 at Overland Park Arboretum. I remember that day vividly, with so many shots to take and the color and smells. I love that place!
