Note… I had three photos on my draft but they would not upload to the actual post. I tried for 40 minutes to reload them and downsized them to a thumbnail. They still would not load. I am very frustrated. This has happened before. Has anyone had a similar problem?
Hello blog readers!
We’ve had warm temperatures, rain, freezing rain, sleet, golfing weather and high winds but not much snow! We are far behind our annual snow totals for this season. It concerns me for our beautiful Freshwater Seas….our Great Lakes, that surround our state of Michigan. The lakes depend on moisture, such as rain and snow to keep their water levels up. This low-snow year is not boding well for our lakes. We need much more snow to ensure higher lake water levels.
Today we awoke to a snowstorm. All the trees were covered with white “frosting” and the flakes were falling from the sky at a heavy rate. I have a quest to try and catch snowflakes on my photos, so I set my image speed high and went outside. The wind was furious and the snow whirled around me. But I was able to capture some snowflakes.
About 3 hours later, the sun came out and the skies turned blue with puffy white clouds. I can’t tell you the last time we saw blue skies like this! In Michigan we say: “If you don’t like the weather…wait a minute, and it will change.” I have a feeling Michigan is not the only state that takes credit for that quote!
Blue spruce
The Blue Spruce stands tall and mighty against the wind, protecting birds from the elements.
Good night! Sleep well…
