so far it has been a really crazy winter in Kansas. the bit Margaret read me in the Farmer’s Almanac, about this coming winter, has been quite true so far - much colder and much wetter. last weekend, i went to visit my poet and it snowed yet again. still the streets there (and here!) aren’t cleared from the heavy Christmas snows. i thought it was gorgeous and we had a cabin fever that even Avatar 3D didn’t cure, so i begged to go drive into the West Bottoms to make pictures. my poet declared it was far too cold to walk around and i had to agree, even though i *really* wanted to. 5 degrees and deep snow could get dangerous! and i hated to think of tinaMerlot becoming trapped in deep snow or ice. so he kindly drove me around so i could do some drive-by shooting. everything looked so ancient and wonderful.
and now it is snowing again! lots! it is truly beautiful. but with an expected wind chill of -20 tomorrow, i hope they close campus so i don’t have to go out so early!

Stunning photos! I’m not sure what you did to take them, but they are great!

Girl, you are a genius.
Photoshop in the hands of the misguided can be the worst thing in the world. In your hands it is a beautiful thing. You have a great eye and I just love seeing the world through it.
My hat is off to you.

thank you dishwasher, sir. what kind words! i curtsy.
i do think that photoshop is one of the most pleasant art tools EVER! of course, one must start with a good scene and a lucky or clever capture, but ahhhhhh - the enhancement! (-:
