Winter

Its been a nice winter…

Now bring the spring! We had a good snow storm with around 8 inches of snow a few days ago. So now since we got a good amount of snow, winter can go away. Who agrees with me that its time for spring?

Birds of the Pond

The weather was gorgeous today. Sun shining high with not one cloud in the sky. I knew I wanted to take some photos today. So, I took my new camera backpack I got for Christmas and rode my bicycle to a nice park near me. I rode up to the pond and their were birds everywhere on the ice covered water. Glad I brought my macro lens with me to get some good photos of these great winged creatures.

Birds can be really hard to capture in a photograph at times. Especially, when they are flying at the speeds they do. I took around eighty photos of geese and seagulls but these are the only ones I felt were the best. It was a good challenge and will do it again soon.

An Eaten Pumpkin

Winter is just around the corner and the eaten pumpkin on our front steps is the proof. The squirrels took all the inside of the pumpkin before winter comes. They need to gather all the food they can before it goes scarce with the snow and really cold weather. Stock up squirrels.

Look Up

Most of us are in such a rush to get where we are going in life, we miss out on one of the spectacular beauties of the sky. Stop. Take a breath and look up. You will never see the same clouds as the day before. Some days it looks like an animal of some sorts. At times the clouds can look just like a random odd shape but then other days the clouds can look like a painting on a big blue canvas. The beauty of nature is all around you, under you and above you.  So, my question of the day is what was your favorite cloud formation you have ever seen?

Snow!

The first snow of the year came down yesterday from the gray sky. It was not much but it warned us to get our shovels out. I don’t like winter that much but I do enjoy seeing snow fall and sticking to the ground. Watching the four seasons we get here is a spectacular thing. Its one of the reasons why I like living in New Jersey.

Embrace the Weather

Its was gorgeous weather here in Jersey today. I opened my window and the weather was just amazing for fall time. The sun was shining high in the sky with no clouds and the warmth all around. If leaves were not falling from the ground I would of thought it was spring. The beauty of weather.

So today I went on a nice long bicycle ride. Who could resist with beautiful weather that was here today. It is always good to be out and get sun. Vitamin D is important for your body and mind. Lets see. How far did I go. Eh. All the way to the end of the park and back. So, around sixteen miles. Yup. The proof? My sore knees. It was fun though. Seeing all the dogs walking and just great exercise. I always feel good after a bicycle ride.

Hehe. I took these two photos of Princess today. She was laying on a towel and I just could not resist wrapping her all up in it. She looked like she was in a cocoon for a dog. Princess is such a patient girl. Lets me do anything to her. Really though, she loves the attention. I love my girl.

Anyways, overall it was a nice four day weekend I had. Could not complain. Especially, if I get off school. Hehe. So, I saw two colleges this weekend, spent time with my mom and went on a nice long bicycle ride. Its been fun but now its soon over. Sadly there is school tomorrow. I am ready. Ready to put on my learning cap and act smart. I do hope all of you had a nice weekend. If you had nice weather also I hope you got out. Embrace the good weather before its gone. Well, its time for me to relax. Listen to some music and surf the internet until I get sleepy. Peace.

Chills of Fall

TreeoftheGround_09

It was really cold last night. The weather forecast said it was 30, which means it was the first freeze here. Thats cold enough for me. A little too cold but I am pretty much use to the cold and warm weather around here. Just have to bundle up. I wore a long sleeved shirt, my red sweatshirt, my blue long pants and socks last night. Plus, I had the heat on medium to keep me snuggy warm. It was nice. Especially, since I always seem to wake up cold. Luckily, it is not suppose to be as cold as it was tonight. I hope everyone stays warm and snuggly on this chilly night. Peace.

The Friday Feeling

Slowly Dieing

Tomorrow may be Wednesday, but it is going to feel like a Friday. Not a bad thing though, since I have Thursday and Friday off. I know its no holiday, but its teacher convention days. Got to thank the teachers for that. Hehe. I never complain when I have days off. Seems to never be enough days off. Maybe they can change school days around and make the weekend school days and the weekdays no school. That just means we would be in school til we are like thirty years old. Nevermind. I will survive with school. Not too long until I am out. Yay!

Anyways, time to relax. Finish some work and then get some sleep. Wake up to a new day and wait for it to go slowly by. Then a four day weekend! Yay. Hope everyone had a nice Tuesday with not too much drama. Lets relax to some nice music. Peace.

Autumn Colors

ReflectionofAutumn_09

The crunching of the dried leaves under my feet as I walk. The chill in the air gives you the hint that winter is not too far away. More cloudy skies and less sun. Also, since we changed the clocks an hour back, it gets dark even earlier. I am not very happy bout that. I like my daylight.

Halloween came quickly and flew by. Its crazy how things come and go. That is why you must enjoy every second. Do not let anything just slide by. Embrace everything and make memories. Well, I am going to get some sleep since I sadly have school in the morning. Hope you all had a nice Sunday. Peace
