November Sunset....Bare Trees and Brittle Cold.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Snow has come and gone a few times now...and ice and walking in slurpy sludge has lost it's magic...in winter with Bare Trees the light takes on a special magic....and warmth.....a magician's twilight....

Cold Winter Night....Catching the Light

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Behind my house there are old Brownstone apartment type buildings with wooden porches that are full of beautiful icicles, dripped from the railings and when the Light hits, they look so amazing, I have tried to photograph them catching the Light.....like hand blown glass....delicate yet strong...medieval, yet majestic....and magical...

Dan Fogelberg....." To the Morning"...

Snow on a Sunday Night....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First Real Snow of the Winter.....falling softly ...quietly....the mounds of leaves are all covered with snow...like powdered sugar.....dancing flakes scatter by the street lights...we are supposed to have snow all week....but the virgin snow is the most special...precious...

and for some reason Dan Fogelberg always reminds me of snow....winter quiet....night snow...."Wysteria"

The Vote...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the Song I will have in my head and my heart when I vote..I don't know why but Scottish Music and Drums and Bagpipes is always what I hear when I am voting...
