Raindrops

Ladysmantle always catches the raindrops,

but so do apple blossoms

and lilacs.

I especially love the lilacs,

which are just starting to bloom.

I am linking this post with both Today's Flowers

and Nature Footsteps Waters.

Stream

A small stream leaping and bouncing down a small slope

catches the sunlight and shares its joy.

I am sharing this with NF Waters.





Water

The still water of a small pond reflects the trees, while the busy streams rush to join the river.

Stream

Friday's snowstorm has left a fresh blanket of white on the ground.

The stream is almost frozen over, but not snow-covered.

Last week, I waded down the slope to the stream.

Water over the Dam

There are two dams in the park near my parents.

This time of year, water flows over both of them.

Snowfall

On Friday, I was returning home bringing the snowstorm.

It was a mixture of rain and snow,

so I was happy to be a passenger.

Overnight, the temperature dropped and it was all snow.

That first snow of the winter again, and we created the second set of tracks in it. Annie wants to know why I have stopped moving again.

 Today, I'm linking to NF Waters.

Standing on the bank of the river, looking down at the ice,

 gives a very different view from kneeling on the ice. Yes, it is cold, and it takes a long time for my jeans to dry...

 Other years, I have been able to capture the bubbles through the various depths of the ice, but not this year.

 To see more watery images, visit Nature Footstep Waters.

Nature Footstep Waters

This morning, the pond was covered in mist and geese.

The sun was just rising above the houses,

creating a golden glow.

  The narrow end of the pond was frozen again.

First Ice

The calm water is starting to freeze.

 I love the patterns of the ice crystals.

 Today I am linking with NF Waters.

Do drop in.

There are geese in the pond again,

 and that means feathers,

 often with dew drops.

 Join Nature Footsteps, and take the waters.
