Massive Fog Bank Settles over Our Auburn Trees :: P365 [Day 8]
![Massive Fog Bank Settles over Our Auburn Trees :: P365 [Day 8]](https://scottfillmer.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/3sf_6559.jpg?w=1024)
Every year as the seasons change this tree puts on a different face. I’m guessing I have taken 100’s of photos of this one particular tree, and every shot looks different. Today we had a fog-bank cloud descend over the property making visibility a few hundred feet or so giving me this shot. The weather…

Time For Chopping and Splitting Wood :: Friday Feet
That cold-ish time of year has come again, even down here in the south. On Wednesday it was almost 80*F, and now it looks like all that warm air is gone for now. One of the things we love about our house in the winter is our Lopi wood burning stove, but it takes a…

Blue Sky and Warmer Weather is Coming, and Spring?
Photo of the day today comes from my walk around the property yesterday. The sun is out, sky is blue, and it is so beautiful outside right now but Spring just isn’t quite here yet. I love these tall long needle pines. They don’t care what the season is, no matter if it’s freezing cold…

Rare March Snowstorm in Auburn 2009
A rare snowstorm hit the state of Alabama this weekend. It was 3,319 days since any measurable snow was recorded at the Birmingham airport and today they reported 2 inches of snow. That said, we are two hours southeast of Birmingham so I am sure it has been even longer down here. It was quite…

Long Ride to Florida and Key West by Motorcycle
It usually gets to be about this time of year when I start dreaming about being some place warmer where the days are not 50-60° and gloomy (yes I know if you live anywhere farther north than the deep south 50 is not cold, but it is to us). One of our favorite spots to…

Closeup Snowflake Photo on a Frosted Window
I started off today with a beautiful creation by our Creator that I am not all that thrilled to see when I get up. 20* Frost. I took this photo this morning when I went out to get in my truck. We live in the deep south and I like to think that our winter…

Gulf Shores Bike Trail to Beautiful Sunset Beach
I would like to say that every day is filled with a bike ride and a walk on the beach, but at least, today, it was. We use to spend quite a bit of time in Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, and Perdido Key, but haven’t made it down here in the last 6 months. This…

Olympic Gold in China for Photos and Photographers
Have you been following the Olympics? Working from a home office gives me the advantage to have the coverage on all the time and it has been great. If you can watch during the day you get some of the less highlighted sports in the summer games like Badminton, indoor volleyball, fencing and more. The…

Cold Day on the Beach in February is Empty and Fun
Some days a cold day on the beach is better than a warm day inside. The beaches, in most parts of the country right now, are completely empty, but put a nice cool breeze and January into the mix and you get this (see beach image below). Not only is there a rare February thunderstorm…

What You Do in January in a Cold Marina
Now that the cold weather is here this is what you do, sit and knit. It is now to cold to sit outside in the cockpit for any extended period of time but we can still come down for the weekend and enjoy being here. Here is Deb sitting under a bunch of blankets knitting…

Colorado in September and It's 23 Degrees
This image was taken just a few days ago. YES, these two photos were taken on September 25th, in Creede, Colorado. Not the most photographic images I know, but we went up to visit some family in Colorado and froze to death in just a few days. The fall weather in this part of Colorado…
