snow fell again. 6-7-8 hours or so of daylight, 5x as much snow as usual. overall, piles, overcast monochromia, polar vortex. ice, frost quakes, phat frost, flash freeze... freezes. january 1st was new moon. palm study. geranium cuttings = root tangles.
purple snow @purpledawn and full moonsets—tinsel, glitter, frost. the parlour palm is at it again. snowdrifts, blizzards. chipmunk (or a red squirrel). white, white hares with charcoal ear tips. the deer, mice, bluejays, chickadees, owls, coyotes, ravens, 100huddled geese, northern flicker, crows, skunks, porcupine. lots of tracks and a sundog. comet ison is not to be seen.
again. this one is a blanket. there have been granule flurries, light rains, pellets, ice crystals in the air, drizzle and mist (last week), fogs and winds. with a few clear days. what is blue? a 2013 project: taking a shot of the full moon every month, which adds up to one group of 12 moons, in a year of comets. it's been too overcast. that was the one & only one, so far. just as well. the frost is trippy. besides. April snow.ers jackrabbits: their backs are smoothing in colour, nice grey carapaces.
Californias, they're back. About a week now. (sounds) how d'ya like that. hibiscus in bloom is in the Malvaceae family, like hollyhock.
