End of Year Sunbow

I was at the gas station when I noticed the sunbow ...
(The sun was off to the right of this shot)
That almost-rainbow that appears on a cold day,
When feathery clouds wisp across the sky ...
Tethered as I was to the gas pump,
I couldn't get a better shot,
But I kind of like this one!

Snow on Pine Tree

Last night it snowed. Great fat wet flakes mixed with the rain. Then it stopped.

This morning dawned icy, what little snow had fallen was now frozen to everything it touched.

Including this small pine tree. But what I really noticed was the center of the branch I was looking at ... I see (icy?) a heart! Do you?

A Sparkling Raindrop

Raindrops and sunshine make for beautiful sparkles - and amazing reflections.

Last Leaf ...

A bit of sunshine between showers
Highlighting the last fall leaf ...

Still hanging on
Waiting for drier weather
To find the earth.

I am one with this wintertime leaf!

Morning Has Broken ...

The early morning sun peeked through the trees, catching the frosty fog.

The plants seemed to glow as the sun woke them up.

Frosty drops of dew covered the grass ...

Brrrr, another chilly day has begun!

On The Second Day of Christmas ...

Apple Seeds ... Guest Heart Thursday

What a wonderful place for Mother Nature to hide a heart!
In the middle of an apple I was cutting up!

Cedar Tree Reflections

The rain finally stopped ... giving us the first sunny day in a long time.

I was drawn to the cedar trees out by the road ... their raindrop-bejeweled branches glistening and reflecting the sun.

The early winter sun made the cedar seem to glow from within, it's intricate patterns revealed ...

Down to the very tips.

I even saw a beautiful rainbow, smiling at me.

Cedar trees are special - ancient people called them the Trees of Life.
I think maybe they saw what I saw this morning.
In the sunlight after the rain ...
