Fly By Night – 79/365

Posted by Ellie

Last Saturday night we drove to Margaretsville to a concert at the Evergreen Theatre, which is about 45 minutes drive from us, along the bottom of the valley. As we drove along the road, I was experimenting with different motion effects. Suddenly a flock of birds flew up in front of us.  I liked this the best of all the photographs I took along that road that evening.

It can take a long time for the snowplows to get to Highway 221 – 51/365

Posted by Ellie

I thought you might like to see our 'highway' after the storm.

This snow, at least was forecast, unlike yesterday's. But when I came downstairs this morning, I could not see the car parked in front of the house.  While Steven plowed the drive to clear it so that I could get to my eye doctor appointment, I dragged the recycling and garbage to the edge of the drive. This is the scene from there. He is fast getting to the point of not having somewhere to push it, we have such a buildup  – of water – ridiculous, isn't it? I have another couple of photos to add to this saga which I will post shortly, but this is the one I chose for the project, for my friends +Charles Strebor and +Natosha Davis for their themes.

Flooding from Sudden Thaw and Heavy Rains 12/365

Posted by Ellie

From a period of extreme cold and heavy winter blizzards, we have been suddenly plunged into semi-tropical temperatures, with heavy rainfall. All of this has the snow and the ice melting (not a bad thing) and causing some minor flooding. Yesterday on our walk in the afternoon sun this road was flooded. Today on the same walk it was colder. What this means is that I got a completely different photograph, which is why I chose to post this rather nondescript image of a not very serious flood. Bear with me as I think you will understand more tomorrow. I can't post it today as I have too much to do tonight. You will just have to be patient! 🙂
