If you’re driving in Manhattan, it feels like there are never enough of these….

I left my house under blue sky on Monday. An hour later I was driving through a heavy snow storm. Will winter never stop in Connecticut?!?
Cartoons on the iPad are much more compelling than those on TV, as I discovered when I observed these visiting kids lounging on our couch.
I love old pine trees in winter. These were captured in Stowe, VT and Big Sky, MT.

It was SO cold that the lifts couldn’t run because the back-up power runs on diesel, and the diesel fuel was too viscous to run through the engine. Had to wait until 11am when it was only -15 degrees!
Needless to say, I rarely removed my gloves to take pictures, but here are a few, shot with the iPhone app Hipstamatic.
The dad seemed to enjoy the video more than his young son. Still, they were glued to the iphone for quite a while, oblivious to the rest of the world.

Despite rain delays, the stands were packed for the Federer match. Even people on the other court tried to get a peek of the match:
The stands were full to the very top:

I didn’t know until I looked at this picture on my computer that I had caught this little fly enjoying the hibiscus flower.

This scene reminded me of a Vermeer, who was an expert at taking a mundane subject (girl filling a jug, woman doing needlepoint) and making it look absolutely stunning. Caught in a local Mexican restaurant (which explains the skull in the background).

Our local beach at the end of the day, after everyone has left. I love it when we have it all to ourselves!

Some dramatic storm clouds were forming while I flew from Connecticut to Seattle:
A quick trip to Boston only provided one photo opportunity, of puffy clouds reflecting in the John Hancock Building. This is part 2 of a series, the first entry coming from Oregon and posted earlier here.

Covered a lot of territory in DC over the weekend, here are some miscellaneous impressions:

Sat in Madison Park yesterday before lunch, and enjoyed an impromptu trumpet concerto while enjoying the warm weather and the view of the Flatiron Building, one of my favorite buildings in the world.

Found a few interesting shots even in such humdrum environment as a small regional airport. These were taken in Eugene, OR:

This tree has a commanding presence in our neighborhood. Can’t wait for the leaves to return this spring.

Caught in Salt Lake City airport bar. Where true cowboys still roam (Utah, that is, NOT the airport).
Took this double exposure of my son and a parking meter in Missoula, MT:

With very little to see in winter, my attention turns to the really small things on the beach:

Caught while walking through New York, where nobody walks slow enough to get a shot that’s sharply focused. That’s New York: you blink and you miss it.

Vermont forest in winter – even now there are lots of colors in the forest.
This one was a double exposure experiment:

These geese were making a few passes over the field behind our house during sunrise, and then they disappeared beyond the horizon. Hope they found a warm place to set down.

Today my blog crossed the threshold of 10,000 all-time views. Thanks to everyone for your comments, visits, and encouragement over the last 2 years!
Now on with the regular post: A visit to the local antique store is always a source for great macro photography, even when I just have my iphone with me. Here’s what I found when strolled through there last week:

The frosted forests of Vermont would have made the perfect setting for the ice princess in the Chronicles of Narnia.
