on the way from Yellow Springs to Cincinnati
oh the weather
if you don't like it
wait a minute or two it will change
here
it has been unseasonably
mild
i am not
complaining
my office is always
cold
when i don't have to wear
a shawl
a scarf
or
lap robe
i am happy
i am not kidding
one day
a month or two back
it was so cold
how cold was it
it was so cold
i had a blanket on my lap
i was told
it looked
as if
i was in an old age home
personally
i likened it
to being in a deck chair
on the Titanic
but
i digress
between Christmas and New Year
it was blustery
it didnt snow
it rained
the winds were icy
odd
because
it rains vs snowing
depending on the temperature
i have learned
that when its been very cold
then feels a bit warmer
its going to snow
rain comes with even warmer temps
like the day
i took that photo of the barn
the naked limbs
of that tree
are
decorated with rain drops
it was wet
it was misting
i took that shot
sitting in the car
through the open window
hey
i wasn't about to get my camera wet
never mind my hair
if i want to hear about warm climes
i go visit my friend Gracie
who is having a hot hot summer
at the end of the world
in Perth
a place i would love to visit in real life
in the meantime
i get my fix
of parrots and roos
from Gracie
you should too

Lovely lovely shot Daryl!
ReplyDelete& now I can't wait to see if it snows.
; )
50 degrees here today, supposed to be warm-ish and rain all weekend. Much better than snow, imho...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful barn shot through those raindrop laden branches. Glad you protected your camera. And your hair!
ReplyDeleteNice barn shot. I know what you mean about snow, it does seem to warm just a slight bit just before snow.
ReplyDeleteWe get lots of ice. I hate ice.
I agree with you sometimes it can be TOO cold to snow. Believe it or not I can smell snow.
ReplyDeleteNo snow in New York or Chicago but it's snowing in Jerusalem---and some people still don't believe in climate change.
ReplyDeleteHow surprising to see a barn photo from you! And how do you keep your feet warm at the office?
ReplyDeleteGreat barn shot...love the dof! Cold in the office?...That's exactly what I've got. Always keep a shawl or sweater and sometimes gloves. I laughed re. the Titanic comment. Had a conversation w/my boss re. the business 'environment' and I remarked that many times it's similar to being on the Titanic....except he's on the upper deck and I'm in steerage! It did not go over well but I'm still laughing!
ReplyDeleteI think you need to call Bill Evans. He could use your expertise;)
ReplyDeleteOne thing I love about England is that you can always (I mean 'ALWAYS') talk about the weather. It changes rapidly. Grace has been experiencing some very hot, hot weather and it warms me up to look at her photos, too!
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me that the weather is acting a little strangely all over the world these days..what i can't figure out is how it can go from 41C one day to 24C the very next day here, just seems too quick for such a drastic overnight change...not that I'm complaining right! Daryl i now have this image of you sitting all rugged up in your office, I need to send you a pair of UGG boots (sheepskin slippers) to keep your feet warm oui!
ReplyDeleteI know! What's up with this weather? Going to be in the 60's! We are headed to Florida for week and even they are complaining that it is too warm for this time of year! Ha! Anyhow, I'll have to pop over and check out Gracie. We will be in Perth this coming winter when The Professor takes his sabbatical!
ReplyDeleteDaryl, nice one! Our Japanese Maple always has drops like that after the rain! It looks like jewels! I just haven't been able to get the shot just right yet!
ReplyDeleteWe have a beautiful sunny day here today, albeit a bit cool, but I'll take it, after all the rain!
Aaaaaah yes, I want to be there, or anywhere else where the sun is out, and it is above 30 degrees.
ReplyDeleteLove this old barn!
I've been thinking of the Southern Hemisphere lately, too! ;-) When I first saw the barn, I thought, "Where did Daryl find a barn near Manhattan?" Then I read the caption.
ReplyDeleteI love barns...
ReplyDeleteWe are having weird weather as well. In the 70's tomorrow. I'll take it!
i love that shot of the barn through the tree branches. it's been strange weather here this week too. i'm glad for warmish winters only because it means a lower heating bill.
ReplyDeletesweet shot... the weather here is perfect if you
ReplyDeletewant to catch pneumonia.... hot then cool then hot again..
I do complain but it falls on deaf ears.. Bob loves it when it
is over 80°
pretty capture with the rain...yep I try to always protect the ole camera too
