What a Difference the Season Makes

01/14/2009 11:49 AM

Here's two photo's taken of the exact same thing from the exact same location.

The first, last July, 85F:

The second, this January, 12F:

Both from my front porch.

Even at my age, I'm still in awe of the adaptability and beauty of the living things around me. That in a few short months, lush, multi-colored animals and plants will return to replace this cold gray lifeless scene. Mother nature is certainly the finest engineer.

Do you have Summer, Winter photo's? If not, pull out the shoe box from under the bed, and find a beautiful summer photo. Then why not take a walk and photograph that scene in the winter. It will get you out of the house for a while, and relieve you of "Cabin Fever" at least for a short while. (For my friends down under, just do it in reverse).

12° is probably going to be almost the warmest you get this week!

That's true. I've learned to "embrace the cold". We just got fresh snow, more on the way. A ski trip is in my very near future!

The bottom pic, which also means that we are being mooned by a sizeable number of individuals.

OTOH, there are more of us doing the same here in the Northern Hemisphere...

I couldn't tell, quite honestly, except that I've been wondering when the Space Needle started chiming on the hour.

This (below) can happen over night. Before and after real rain. That wheelbarrow was not large enough to catch all the rain. The winds did the rest. Before (bottom line) and after from down under. This happened just a few days ago and my little garden will have to be started from scratch.

Hi, ky,

Can you post 'em a bit bigger (or post a link where I can see them), please? Can't really make out what happened. Looks really sad, though.

Not schadenfreude, honest.

It's nearly all cleaned up and ready to grow again. That wheelbarrow filled up over night. We had 700mm in 3 days. The soil just got a bit too soggy and those African Tulip trees should be outlawed.

What a differance a day makes. Here are some larger images and Schadenfreude is not ilegal, go for it! I have just found out that I can only put one image here at a time. I'll post some to your private email if you wish. It should work there. Let me know. I wonder how others can do it. Please explain somebody. Thanks, Ky.
