I should share photo’s of a blizzard….
Still, I really like these. They bring Spring to my mind.
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…
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.
Great photos as usual James.
Thanks, Dad.
