Friday Hunt, 2016-15

It is a colder day than usual in the Nutmeg State of Connecticut - so, the spirit warms up very nicely at Teresa's fun photo meme, Friday Hunt. We look forward to the hunt, and this week I am using not vintage, but current pics :) Here are my choices for today's themes:

Begins with 'O': I like Orange! The early Spring sky in these parts will do! To the left is a hone pic of sunset at a local shopping center. To the right, it is a sunset, then from our back window at a west-southwest orientation...


Week's Favorite: There was freezing dew during the week and I like these, as the icy branches look distorted on this cold morn, which is what the ice did to the buds. Nice sky, but when will it begin to feel like April?


Spring/Fall:Patti captured yet another male cardinal on the forsythia. It looks like late November (even if it was this week) when the leaves fall off. To the right, some of the forsythia is sprouting their sunny leafy countenance. These views frame the beginning and end of Winter I'd say! As always, thanks to Teresa for hosting!

  1. For us April and spring-like weather should be arriving by next week and hopefully all the snow will be gone. Nice to see cardinals in your neck of the woods as well and the forsythia blooming is a sure sign of spring.

  5. He's beautiful. It appears that the East is having Montana weather and Montana is having Eastern weather. Very strange indeed. The sunset is just gorgeous. I don't get very many with the mountains, I'm more likely to get a striking sunrise.

  6. Great selections for the prompts. You do have some gorgeous sunsets. We've had an unusually cold week as well. Sadly, I think the freeze might have damaged the fruit crops for the year. Hope you have a better weather week. Thanks for joining in.

  7. Great sunsets. The sparkly frozen dew looks nice on the branches, but the cold is not. I'm with you - looking for April weather! Brilliant Cardinal, and that forsythia will be brilliant soon, if not already.
