Icy Art

leave a comment »

With the oscillations of our temperatures rising above freezing during the day and then dropping below each night, a morning walk offers a variety of artistic spectacles. Icy designs form over the water that was flowing in the drainage ditches. The artwork is only temporary because as the earth spins to move our view of the sun higher in the sky, the ice turns to water and flows downstream.

This art show is a bonus to the overall benefit of the overnight freezes slowing the thaw of our snowpack, mitigating the threats of heavy erosion, or overflowing the banks of our small streams and rivers.

There remains a chance of heavy rain falling in April to a degree that flooding could still happen. Having the snowpack safely melted by that time will save us from worst-case scenarios that might have resulted due to the high water content that was in this year’s snow.

More and more ground is being revealed every day and April shows up on Saturday. Green plants will be sprouting soon. Spring hasn’t quite sprung yet, but it feels like it’ll be bouncing along very soon.

First posted in April of 2013. I was doing a review of old images and this one resonated anew for me this morning…

Try Guessing

with 8 comments

It’s back! Everyone’s favorite image-guessing game is once again resurrected. It’s simple to play. All you need to do is guess what is depicted in the image below.

Do you trust your first impression, or ponder the possibilities? Can you hold off long enough to wait for the answer to come to you, or will you look for the solution right away?

You are in charge, but it is strongly recommended you come up with some kind of guess before clicking on the image to find out what this could possibly be. Guess your best, and enjoy the mental exercise! What do you see?

First published about a year ago. I could use some reminding today about this seedling deep in my core.

Expression– Revisited

leave a comment »

Happy November.

In a curated version of the wayback machine, today I bring you a Words on Images post from November 2011. I somewhat randomly selected it after a period of exploration through the archives of images I used in my first three years of Relative Something. What a long interesting trip it has been.
