Looking southwest
There was proto-color rising from behind the Sandias when I left the house. I stopped for gas two miles down the road and the clouds had colored up.

Broken Cycle
My car with windswept snow in the parking lot on Old Route 66 between 2nd and 3rd Streets.
Our months-long dry spell was broken today with a major windstorm, followed by snow.
The snow was still faling when I got home.
Silver and Sasha enjoying a warm counter.
Dale’s peach tree with Resa’s Tree in the background.
Snow caused the black bamboo to bend over and cover Marina’s Tree. The top of Lavinia’s tree is showing on the left.

My decadent birthday dinner: home made, hot and spicy, green chile cheese fries.
Day Glow Peach
You can look through the peach leaves portal into the future. If you are quick you may see what will pass.
Dale, @ A Delectable Life, rightly noticed that her Peach Tree had not been getting much attention. Here it is in day-glow peach.
I couldn’t resist doing an Over/Under shot. Inspired by Marina.

Outing Incognito
Marina’s Incognito tree blends in nicely with the black bamboo.
While spies come in from the cold, the Incognito tree has been outed by the cold.

Yellowing
Teagan’s, Susan’s, and Lavinia’s trees beginning to turn yellow from the recent frosts.
Moon & Jupiter in the Tangle Heart Tree
I walked out to the Tangle Heart Tree under the light of a half-moon. The owls hooted, Chupacabra nipped at my heels, and La Llorona wept in the shadows. As I approached the Tangle Heart Tree, the half-moon and Jupiter fell into the heart. While I was photographing the phenom of a cottonwood embracing two celestial bodies, a legion of ghosts swept past me streaking my photo, causing the coyotes and chupacabra to howl, and La Llorona to cry out as she grabbed at the apparitions hoping to catch her children among the flock of phantoms. The remnants of ghostly matter made the next photo look like a painting. The following photo came out a little clearer, but there were still pieces of paranormal particles hanging in the air. The last photo cleared up a little more but it still shows remnants of the eidolon.

Face Trees
I washed our 16-inch cast-iron skillet and set it on the stove to dry it off before I oiled it. The water made trees and a face. When I started drying it, I noticed there was still a little food stuck to the skillet, so I washed it again. The second time I set in on the stove it only made trees.
