Early morning fog, I-10 near Palm springs, sunset shots, and an abstract in rocks, gravel and yard debris.

Ice in the stream

December 10th, 2009

Dave writes from Rogue River, Oregon: Winter’s here, in spades.  We finally moved our bed indoors after a 17° night on the porch.  It’s been around 10° for three nights now, with highs near 30°.  Only a couple of burst pipes so far!  We’ve been ferrying buckets of water out to the goats while I fix the pipes.

As you can see, the creek is freezing over, with ice all the way across in spots.  Here are a couple of shots of ice crystals at the edge of the creek.  Without any refrerence to judge scale, they look they might be photomicrographs.  The field is probably 2″ across.  Lots of frost but no snow yet.  Temps are due to rise 20° by Saturday, and we’ll get our first snow.

Duck Day Afternoon, II

“Duck Day Afternoon, II” … Phoenix. Not particularly a prestigious fine art photo, and the image title’s been used before too. What is new is an inch of rain, an all-free pool water fill-up, from yesterday’s storm: freshly downloaded from the Pacific, what they think is the new El Nino, gone as quickly as it arrived.

If you read our recent post in My Notes, this image shows the pool level is normal. The supposed “leak” turned out to be a switch someone accidentally left set in “backwash” mode. Problem easily fixed.  Click image for large file. Browse all images in Alex’s Gallery.
