A B&W Day Gets Some Color

It was snowing when we woke up yesterday … the soft, dry kind of snow that we usually get.

It was still snowing when we went to bed … no break from the white stuff in between.

This morning, we woke up to a monochromatic day. No snow falling from the sky. Thick fog veiling the view across the arroyo. Snow blanketing everything. The deck furniture was decorated with icy shards of snow that had Mui commenting that it looked like a scene out of Doctor Zhivago. OK … that was an exaggeration, but you get the idea.

By mid-morning the fog had given into the sun that was breaking through the clouds. Patches of blue sky started to appear. Looking good.

Our community has a service that clears any snow accumulation in our driveway … provided it is 3” or more. Mui estimated we had about 2”. So, he bundled up and got the snowblower going. In no time at all he had the dry, fluffy snow off the driveway. All good.

Wouldn’t you know it? Around 1:00p, the snow removal team showed up with shovels in hand; a bobcat adapted for snow removal followed. Oh well, Mui … just think of the work you did as exercise 🤪

(Since the early morning photos were so monochromatic anyway, I processed them with a B&W filter.)Read more
