Mini Icicles are a Beautiful Thing

I don't want to jinx the mild weather we've been having here in the U.P., but spring is a coming! With melting snow, the edges of the flower beds are starting to reveal themselves once again. I'm not quite sure if I remember how everything looks at ground level under all of this snow.

I'm sharing a photo reminding us all to take in the little views (think toddler eye level). There's alot to see out there, even along the sidewalk we've walked on hundreds if not thousands of times.

We all Share the Same Sun

Look around and I can see the colors changing around me. From different professors, I was taught to look deeper, and see the true colors in an object, form, or landscape. Now surrounded by the beauty that is the U.P., I find myself catching all these colors and their changes throughout the day.

If you've been to our modest rental home, you know that we have a spectacular view, which I appreciate every day. I have to say I'm a couch potato, not that I sit and sit with the T.V. on (but, then, I do have those moments), but I sit and sit looking out the window.

When the sun comes up in the morning, the snow is tye dyed in blues and purples as the warm sun splatters it's compliments. As the sun sets in the evening, the sun streaks colors across the clouds and bounces those same colors against anything white or reflective. Yesterday, the icicles on the eaves absorbed some of this color play and I found myself taking it all in as the sun slipped away.
