stormy weather

Storm clouds are moving in, so unfortunately it's just too dark to take outfit shots this morning.  It's sort of ironic, because I've been stitching up rain hats the past couple of days, so I guess I'm ready! 

We get a lot of dramatic weather here, and our little perch in the sky offers a terrific front row seat.  A couple of weeks ago, I was completely mesmerized by the ever-changing sky throughout just one day.  The cloud formations, the colors, the speed of change - I could not stop looking, and the patterns made me wish I was a painter.  Or a textile designer!

Here's just a bit of what I saw:  








Finally by sunset, the skies began to clear, and the colors were amazing.



I hope you have a joy-filled weekend!

Take good care,

Terry

I like New York in January - how about you?

I love how NYC looks dressed in snow!  Bruce & I went out to an early breakfast and then I walked him to work, snapping photos along the way.  His office is in the World Financial Center.  It's such a lovely part of the city, and it's fun to see it all cloaked in white.

I chatted with a Park Ranger while he waited for me to snap my photos, so he could take some of his own.  We couldn't figure out where the snow came from to make the snow family, because they were set high atop a wall, in and amongst the drifts as if they grew there of their own accord.  Our best guess was that someone made them after the morning's snowfall, and then the evening's deluge covered up the source.  

But I'd rather believe it was pure magic.

xo,
