Snow Day
Happy Monday everyone! As an Arctic chill and winter snow storms approach, I’m reminded of this special day. While everyone seemed to be leaving quickly or sat in front of their toasty fire places, @hamscratch and I were driving directly into a snow storm in the western Catskills that we had been tracking since the night before. When we arrived in the region, we found a spectacular winter wonderland that we shared only with the occasional snowplow. As blizzard conditions blew in and out, we visited many locations including some beautiful waterfalls and woodlands. However, it was this lone tree that caught my eye from the side of the road that I fell in love with on this afternoon. I couldn’t tell you exactly where it was or how to find it, but on this particular day, it was glorious. The atmosphere from the squall eliminated all but a few strands of grass and the subtle line of the hilltop this ghostly figure sat atop. As long as you are cautious, prepared, and dressed appropriately, “bad” weather will almost always lead to unique and surprising images as the landscapes that we are used to transform momentarily into a whole new world. Stay warm my friends.
