winter blue
composing myself
for now …

 

Ithaca Falls looked today...1-28-15--
Wind sculpted snow just off Cayuga Lake in Stewart Park 1-28-15... and a bike tread and a footstep of snow left stuck on the paved path...
Wind sculpted snow just off Cayuga Lake in Stewart Park 1-28-15... ..and a little snow person out on the ice...
Wind sculpted snow just off Cayuga Lake in Stewart Park 1-28-15...
Willow in the wind at Stewart Park today-1-28-15... the breeze coming off the lake was really intensely cold but there were ice fishermen out there and two people flying gigantic kites-
Ice on the gorge wall near Ithaca Falls 1-28-15--
Ithaca Falls 1-28-15--
Ithaca Falls 1-28-15..
Ithaca Falls 1-28-15.
Wind sculpted snow just off Cayuga Lake in Stewart Park 1-28-15... and a bike tread
Wind sculpted snow just off Cayuga Lake in Stewart Park 1-28-15... and a footstep of snow left stuck on the paved path...
near zero- just rabbits and crows...

from Carlos Castanada

All paths
are the same,
leading nowhere.
Therefore, pick
a path with heart!

 

 

leaves frozen at the surface of a pond in the Cornell Botanic Garden... each one had absorbed the sun just enough to open a bit of space around itself... 1-22-17.
