White Apple

Drive down any neighboring roads and off to the left and right this is what your faced with today. Scenes like this. It's that combination of bare branches and new fallen wet snow. My friend Jason has told me stories of an albino buck that he and others, up Washington county way, are constantly on the chase to bag. And every few months or so, there seems to be a story about a white lobster trapped, or some other strange looking white dolphin or frog tracked down in the natural world. Heck, I even saw guitar, blues legend Johnny Winter playing some mean riffs on his ax with his band in the 70s. 
Looking for whiteness these days? Here in Maine today, wet snow can be a feast for the eyes.
Pull yourself up to the table and enjoy.
Dinner is served!

    Ugh, I spend a lot of money trying to cover my (ahem) 'whiteness' up!
    Who knew?

    Thanks for the invitation, but I decline. I am "full up" and don't care for anymore of that white stuff, surrounded by patches of ice. Currently −12 F in St. Paul.

    We expect another inch or two of fresh snow today, but I've seen and shoveled enough white stuff for a while.

    We had a snow day, based on the forecast, and it didn't snow. Seriously.

    One of those beautiful winter days!
    We have white squirrels in Trinity Bellwoods park - always thrilling to spot one!
