Photo of the Day: Snowflakes, or Snowballs?

Yesterday evening I drove home during a winter storm with huge snowflakes. In a matter of minutes, the ground was covered. (Don’t worry Dad, this was taken at a red light.)

Photo of the Day: The Weight of the Snow

On February 25, 2013 By LindyIn photography

With a foot of snow on the ground and another foot expected tonight, I’ve never been more ready for spring. It seems so late in the season for such heavy accumulation, but I did find this photo in my archives from exactly two years ago.

Phot of the Day: Stuck in the Snow — This photo gives you a pretty good idea of how much snow we got yesterday.

Photo of the Day: Far From Spring

They’re calling it “Snowmageddon” – the largest snowstorm my part of the Midwest has seen in two years. Everyone in my apartment complex had quite a time trying to dig out their cars with brooms this afternoon.

People who had never met before helped each other dig out their cars after a winter snowstorm.

Photo of the Day: Old Tree

On February 20, 2013 By LindyIn nature, photography

I took this photo a year ago on my in-laws’ land in Southeast Kansas. I chose not to use it as the photo of the week merely because I liked this photo better. Looking back, it is a pretty impressive tree.

It may be a gnarly tree in the winter, but this tree probably looks pretty impressive when its leaves grow.

This was taken January 2011 at my former apartment, where the resident ducks always swarmed me in the winter, looking for a much-needed bite of food. (Click the shutter, throw the bread, click the shutter…)

I took this photo on a gorgeous January day two years ago – back when we actually had a decent snowfall!

Days 320-321: A Wintery Mix

On November 17, 2011November 17, 2011 By LindyIn photography

Here are my photos from yesterday and today; they both remind me of cold temps – both inside and out.

Whenever I see berry bushes like these, it reminds me that winter is just around the corner. (Especially when the temperature dropped about 30 degrees yesterday.)

Today we went to lunch at Sno & Company, a new frozen cocktail/light lunch place that just opened up a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately we couldn't try the cocktails on our lunch break, but we got to sample some delicious food from our good friend Chef T! The atmosphere is so great - I can't wait to go back.

Day 105: Annual Closet Switcheroo

On April 16, 2011 By LindyIn photography

Yesterday was one of those cold, rainy days where you just want to stay inside. So I decided, despite the 40 degree temps, to do my annual closet switch from my winter wardrobe to my summer one. Jerod thought this photo was hilarious because it looks like I have so many clothes, whereas I looked at this photo and thought, “It looks like I have more winter clothes than summer clothes. I’d better go shopping!”

Day 66: A Sign of Spring?

On March 8, 2011June 20, 2012 By LindyIn nature, photography2 Comments

We used to look for the first robins each year as a sign of spring, but this year, I saw them all winter long. I’m not sure what that means, but it can’t be good for them. I found this guy near my office yesterday.
