past night
This picture was worth getting up for… the forecast for tonight said fog. We’ve had over 20 inches of snow in the last two weeks, and the temp has barely crossed the warm side of the freezing line. But tonight, it’s all rain and fog as the snow melts off. Got up, grabbed the tripod, and captured this in the middle of the night.

One from the past – it’s too dang cold here with too much snow falling. Makes for a pretty Christmas, but I ain’t going out in it to shoot pictures right now. Seriously, absolute zero would be a warm-up.

All I can think when I look at this photo is: cold. I was freezing. The temp dipped to about 12F and the wind was whipping. If you look at the lower left-hand corner of the photo, you can see the wind outside the woods throwing snow everywhere. What’s missing here is the sound of frozen trees straining in the wind, creaking and popping.

BB
My alma mater came north to play MSU last night. The Citadel lost but did a great job of holding their own against such a powerful team. This was my first MSU basketball game and we had a blast.
make it!

Snowed here. Again. ‘Tis the season.

Between end of semester and this sinus-thing I can’t seem to shake (antibiotics are good for you) I’ve not been a very faithful poster. It’s hard to get out in the cold when I’m under the weather. One from the past, taken last Fall:

It’s not the southern-most tip of the continent, but the Cape of Good Hope is known for wild weather. From the lighthouse, you can see where the Indian meets the Atlantic. One is colder than the other, and there’s sometimes a line on the surface where they mingle.

back from SC
I’m back in the frozen tundra from holidays in South Carolina. Got a few pics around Charleston and the farm and will be posting over the next several days as, frankly, I’m going to need a few days before I’m ready to spend much time outside here.

From the family farm in Allendale, SC. Trucks are red, tractors are green.
Oysters!
Mom built a full-out firepit/oyster roaster outside. Simple SC oyster cookin’ – dump live oysters on fire, cover with soaked burlap sack, steam, eat, repeat. We had a blast.
