‘Nother What?
The popular image guessing game returns with an easy image to decipher …or is it? Easy can be misleading. Don’t second guess yourself. Oh, go ahead, do it anyway, what have you got to lose? But, no peeking! You need to make your guess before you click on the image to have the answer revealed.

Blue Sky
There was snow stuck to all the tree branches in sight, but the eye-catching feature of the image is the blue sky. This morning, I am a man of few words, so I will let this picture tell today’s story. This is the view out the back of the house last Thursday morning after the overnight snowfall.
Mighty Purdy
I don’t have time to compose a proper description of my exciting day on the ranch, yesterday, so I’m going to leave you with a couple pictures to enjoy. Overnight, between Wednesday and Thursday, we received around 3 inches of snow. It was mighty purdy! I think I mentioned that our snowman didn’t survive the winds. He got toppled over the night we made him.
Snow Scene
The April-like snow storm we enjoyed over the past weekend has left things an icy mess around here. Yesterday, the temperature climbed up around the freezing mark, and there was enough sunshine to do some melting on the south-facing side of the house, but to the north, not so much. The driveway is a bit of a skating rink, with some spots of drifted snow mixed in. The snowman we made has already fallen over, pushed down by gale-force winds that followed the storm. I don’t think we’ll get Cyndie’s scarf back until spring.
When I got home yesterday afternoon, I could hear water running from the roof-melt, but I couldn’t see where it was going. There is so much ice built up around the place, that I don’t know how the runoff is draining. Then I noticed the concrete block wall at the bottom of the stairs to the basement, in the garage, is showing signs of being saturated with water. There is a little puddle at the bottom. My fears are realized: the water can’t go anywhere with all the ice buildup, so it is soaking into the foundation. Nice.
I am choosing to dwell on a beautiful moment that I captured at a time when the rain had turned to snow for a bit, and was coming down thick. A couple of cardinals perched to give the scene a little accent. Enjoy.
Now What?
My little image challenge from a few days back was popular enough to entice me to do that kind of thing again. This time, you have an opportunity to get lost in the mysterious transposing of depth perception. Is it recessed, or raised? Figure out what you think this could possibly be, before scrolling down to click the link which will reveal the full image…
