Week 16

At this point the days are, thankfully, getting a bit longer but winter fatigue has definitely arrived.  Each year there is a day when I get up and know that I am now tired of winter.  That day for me this year was this Monday.  Low energy with me and with the students and I now have a cold.  Not enough to sideline me but just enough to wear me down and take off the edge.  Hannah is also sick and worn out and that happens to her every winter too.

So, without further ado her is the sixteenth picture in the series.  The weather?   Dirty gray gold and bleak.

Week 15

How opposite can two weeks be?  Last week was cold and snowy and this week it warmed  up and the snow melted.  There was a lot of rain though.

At this point the semester at school is into the second week of the spring semester and indeed there is a feeling, or perhaps an anticipation, of spring coming.

I changed the aspect ratio on the camera for another situation and forgot it would give a different look for this project.

Week 14

This time I got the shot on time and on the right day.  It helps to be back in school so I can leave my last class at around 2:50 p.m., get my stuff, and stand outside on the front entry and take the picture on my way back to the van.

Last week was brutally cold after the snowfall.  This week things have warmed up and as you can see the snow has started to melt.  Unless it snows again most of the snow seen in this picture will be gone next week.

Week 13

Wednesday when I should have been taking this picture I was about an hour away from Columbia heading back from St. Louis where I had gone in to pick up Lior and Sivan.  Heading west we literally drove into the snowstorm and it started getting real bad right after Montgomery City.  We made it home but traffic was very much backed up and we passed a good many accidents.

So, I went out today to get his shot hoping that the roads would be reasonably clear.  They were.  As you can see there is much more snow on the ground this week than there was last week.  It is also much much colder.
