Spring Blossoms

I'm not sure if this is a crab apple tree or something else

Sping

Just a few things I saw out walking

Shadows

The first flowers of spring

 

 Clouds reflected in a puddle

A hornet's nest

Signs of Spring

Today I saw the first signs of plants popping up out of the ground.

We have been trying to figure out what kind of tree this is, and we thought it was diseased because the bark is peeling off it, but it always has all it's leaves and shows no other signs that it's sick, and today we finally found it on a website showing trees. It's a sycamore tree.

Christmas

A Facebook group I'm in is having a little Christmas photography contest

and since I really didn't decorate this year, I just used a backdrop and

took a few shots of some Christmas candy, bird ornaments and a Santa

More Snow

The past few days we've gotten either ice or snow every day. 

Today's snow seemed to really stick, so I took a few more shots

Here Comes the Sun

After all the ice and snow, the sun has shown it's face and the ice is sparkling. 

I went out and tried to capture it in the photos.

Snow!

Last night it snowed over the top of all the ice we got for the last two days. So, I ventured out over a 6 block area and took a few photos.
