A Very Weak Sun

After a terrific walk on Sunday that I posted about yesterday, Monday's perambulation was of the more miserable sort. Although the thermostat read warmer, the biting wind sure made it feel colder. Fair to say that the sun was weak.


Indeed, the day was dull.

As a bonus, I present another icicle photo from the much nicer previous day.

  3. Kudos to you all for braving the cold wind for a walk, and capturing a few shots of the grey details. Keep warm.

  8. We have had some cold dreary days here in OKC but have avoided the ice and snow so far. This weekend we are predicted to get hit with a heavy snow so I may get some snow photos of my own.

  9. Those are great icicles! We've had a stretch of blue sky days which have been wonderful and uplifting. Considering all the other stuff going on, I need all the sunshine possible.

  13. We too were rather sun deficient yesterday as well. We had about 2 inches of very fine, blowing snow. And the deep freeze has started here. 1 degree (F) here and expected to get worse through the weekend. Hopefully there will be a decline in wind but I do not know if that will happen or not.

    Photos, as always, are beautiful whether the sky is very or blue. You inspire me to get out my camera if only I could capture some more time to do so.

  14. Rather noir, like the cover of a Scandinavian crime novel--except for the beautiful icicles.

  15. Get yourself down here quick - we’ve a week of 30°+s coming up….high 90s and more for those elsewhere. Walking won’t be on my list of things to do 😎

  18. Icicles are fascinating. I have strong memories of introducing them to my kids who thought they were like popsicles, ha.
