    • Ha! This is the blizzard that shut down the whole city. As you can see, we’re not set up for cold down here and snow is a real novelty. Of course, it’s pretty much all melted now…

  1. My favourite colour palette. I love your photographs. Even wrote a stone on the close up of the bark – any idea what kind of tree it is?

    Our son tells us we had snow momentarily in San Antonio. Looks like you got a little more. Is this hill country? Looks a little flat but even the hill country must have flat areas.

    • Thanks, Margo! I’d love to read that stone you wrote. Did you post it anywhere? I didn’t stop to examine the tree and I’m not real good at IDing them, but there’s a good chance it’s a live oak.

      We’re right on the edge of the hill country in north Austin. It’s a little hilly here, but the real hill country starts a few miles west. The pictures are in a creek bottom so it’s fairly flat along that stretch.

      • Hi James,
        I have it on the Writing Our Way Home site, but don’t know if you visit so I’ll post it here. The tree probably is a live oak, but that won’t scan right. Shame. I like naming things.

        As temperatures rise
        snow crouches
        in the nooks and crannies
        of tree bark.

        • I joined Writing Our Way Home and haven’t yet had a chance to explore it. Thanks for sharing your stone here. I really like it.

          I know what you mean about wanting to use right names even when they don’t scan. The names of things can be so evocative in and of themselves.
