Wordless Wednesday: November 12, 2014

The descent of winter upon Elmira pond comes in killing frosts, a dusting of snow and a southern slant to the sunset.
Sunsets Shift South and Goes Behind the Ridge by 3:30 p.m.















 
Water Won't Be Open Much Longer
Horses Will Go to Winter Barns

Their Coats are Thick for Winter

First Snow on Elmira Pond












Foraging for Grass That Will Now Go Dormant

    I need to get my lawn furniture in and you have to worry about horses. I think I'd better get that furniture in because I hear we'll be hit so hard this year.

      Ugh...not ready for a hard hit. They say you can predict the winter by the growth of a horses coat. If so, it's a cold one coming.

      Thanks! The sun slants this time of year and makes for interesting shots. And the horses are always photogenic!

    I see the horses are taking advantage of the pond now that it is still available to them.

      They like to drink pond water! It's nearly iced over. I can't believe we went from roses budding to frozen water in two days!

      Like you, the skies fascinate me--sunrises, sunsets, clouds. It's always something beautiful. Thanks for stopping by!
