Work Neighbor Kitty mesmerized by the snow today. ❄️❄️🐈‍⬛
The photo shows white blinds atop a cat with window dressing below the cat's dominant head. Snow is blowing in the photo. White drifts of snow obscure some of the cat. The window is outlined in grey stone and brick.

Lightning photos from the storm tonight. #charlestonwv #westvirginia #lightning #thunderstorm
Lighting behind trees in the dusk light. Lightning change the sky color above forest. Lightning behind tree in cloudy sky. Lightning make sky purple color beyond trees and forest.

Palm Sunday.
A palm frond from the Palm Sunday service resting on a wooden platter on a wood table. A palm frond turned into crosses from each leaf of the frond. The original stem is seen left of the crosses. Two separate palm leaves of a golden color are seen above the green palm crosses.

Spring everywhere.
A row of redbud trees are set against some rock and grass. Behind the trees are a parking lot, a school, and some hills showing Spring greens. A close up photo of Spring violets sprouting from new green growth. Cherry tree blossoms are shown against the blue sky backdrop. A close up photo of a dandelion.

Getting back to nature this afternoon. I had the whole grotto to myself at Coonskin Park. The creek water was a sea green color. It was quiet and refreshing. The bench provided a nice reflection point on the way out of the Alice Knight Memorial trail.
A sea green color of creek pooling shown among the forest of leafless trees. A mossy tree log is seen left of the creek pool. The grotto of Coonskin park shows a small waterfall dumping into a pool of water beneath a cave. The bench writing says "All I know, she sang a little while, and then she flew on."

Snowy waterfall day today. Fayette County, West Virginia with the New River Gorge and the Cathedral Falls area photographed. It was quite a pleasant Saturday! ❄️🧊🌨️🏔️
The New River Gorge Bridge is shown with green trees in the forefront and snowy hillside in the backdrop. Cathedral Falls waterfall in Fayette County, West Virginia shown mostly in ice and some flowing water in the interior of the falls. A random waterfall on the Midland Trail roadside. Most of the waterfall is frozen with formed icecicles hanging. The sandstone cliffs cave in the waterfall.

Dunbar Wine Cellar Park this morning.... I usually only venture the spot for the disc golf, but wanted to hike it today. It was cold but just what the doc ordered. A hidden gem in West Virginia with an older story about vineyards....

The sunset was a bit more pink to the naked eye than the orangish tangerine colors of the phone's capture.... either way... a nice sunset today!
The picture shows the colors of the setting sun at bottom left, middle, and right of photo. There are some silver and gray cloud forms against the sunset colors. At top right of the photo is a mostly leafless oak tree as a dark contrast to the otherwise cloudy backdrop above the sunset.

Winter sunset on a cold deck...
A late sunset photo is shown with sky colors of pink and gray and purple and fading light blue, orange, and copper.... the sky is seen behind the nearer dark tall oak tree figure and edged by the pine tree at right with another dark tree. The main scene, in close photo, is an outdoor deck covered in snow, a table with chairs sits on the far corner of it with additional snow cover. Winter sunset on a cold deck.

Interesting sights continue to be witnessed in downtown Charleston, West Virginia. Last week was a brilliant accordion player sitting outside the ice cream parlor. Today was the shirtless unicycle juggler. The scene set to early holiday decorations. What a strange and interesting time to be alive.
