181
Yesterday afternoon, as I was returning to work, I looked up and was startled by the most wonderful blue, winter sky. Later, last night on a trip to the woodshed, I looked up to a fast-moving, fishback sky in the heavens. It was a harbinger of a storm on the horizon, for sure. This morning we woke to a fine veil of whiteness, lacing the countryside. You see, around here, just when there's a hint of a thaw, or that fickled spring really is near; it's BOOM-time!
It really always comes back to nature's way.
*Note the Portland Landmarks sign Brooks Bakery 1887.
Freshly fallen snow always looks so appealing. Like the symmetry of your photo.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, Kate. Even the 181 is symmetrical.
ReplyDeleteI was listening to the news reports this morning about the snow that's falling in the New England area. But, you did manage to get a brilliant shot for today!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo and boy, does it ever work with the background color on your blog! About the corn chowder...yes, it has carrots in it. No beets!!!! What you see in the soup must be the red peppers (roasted). I put a few pieces in for flavor and color (not part of the recipe...my idea). Do you want the recipe? email me and I will send it.
ReplyDeleteSymmetrical except for those shades on the right hand side. Almost as if they were blinking at us. ;-)
ReplyDeletepretty shot.
ReplyDeleteA trip to the woodshed? So what did you do or say?
ReplyDeletePlenty of snow up your way this winter. Should i mention that the temps down here tied a record? 88 . . .
A look up at the sky can tell you so much hey Birdman.. wish I was looking out at a covering of snow right now :)
ReplyDeleteThat is tough.. brrr
ReplyDeleteA boring grey sky here, and it's raining now...
ReplyDeleteCool shot! We are getting hit with snow too but not as much as you.
ReplyDeleteThe snow does look pretty! And I like those big numbers too.
ReplyDeleteEven with my glasses on, I can't read that. We are getting hit by gale after gale and have had the warmest January since 1900. To each his own.
ReplyDeleteThis 1887 Brooks building looks none the worst from your continuing snowy weather. It looks very comfortable all snuggled in that lovely white snow -- barbara
ReplyDeleteI think you've had enough cold and snow for one winter! Nice picture!
ReplyDeleteThe snow is so pretty, but I imagine you get weary of it after awhile. We had some very cold temps here last week and even a little sleet, but today it got up to 78 degrees.
ReplyDeleteI like the contrast of the windows on each side, one half dark, one half partly shaded.
ReplyDeletePretty, but you couldn't pay me to spend ten minutes out in it. My poor California blood just couldn't take it.
ReplyDeleteHey, any building that has a palindrome for an address is okay with me.
ReplyDeleteYou might agree with a St. Louis slogan: if you don't like the weather, just wait around a bit.
Maine weather expression:
DeleteDon't like the weather? Wait a minute.
Great looking building.
ReplyDeleteYep -- that sneaky Maine weather -- so I snuck south-ish. No boots! No hat! Green grass!
