Got braces on my teeth last week and eating has become more an ordeal than a pleasure. Some people were discussing weight loss yesterday. Braces might help. Food is almost more trouble than it's worth. :-(
Better snow than rain. Temperatures are in the 30s, so I'm happy to see the snow.
Yes! Snow reflects light and is cheery. Rain is just...wet. Here in SW AZ we had a rain storm last night. Got a flash flood alert on my phone just after I went to bed. Sunny and dry this morning except for my patio which has an inch or two of standing water. No doubt there was flooding in the washes and some roads were impassable. Rain in the desert is always fraught with hazards.
Ole Miss got a lesson in players' (I won't mention the race) celebrating after touchdowns.
It's an epidemic in college and NFL. Bud Grant used to admonish p[layers by saying "Act like you've been there before." No more. This is the age of Kaepernick.
Or "flock". I just discovered my first grade secret Santa reparations gift "Rusty" was coated in a process they call "flocking".
Flocking refers to a synthetic dust or powder that you can use to achieve the look of a Christmas tree with snow indoors...
Flocking is defined as the application of fine particles to adhesive coated surfaces, usually by the application of a high-voltage electric field. In a flocking machine the "flock" is given a negative charge whilst the substrate is earthed. Flock material flies vertically onto the substrate attaching to previously applied glue. A number of different substrates can be flocked including textiles, fabric, woven fabric, paper, PVC, sponge, toys, and automotive plastic.
Flocking powder is made up of masses of tiny fibers. The flocking powder adheres to an adhesive or sticky surface such as glue or an adhesive powder teamed with pigment inks... Flocking powder is sold in small tubs which are similar in size to embossing powders. Flock can be made from natural or synthetic materials such as cotton, rayon, nylon and polyester. There are two types of flock - milled and cut. Milled flock is produced from cotton or synthetic textile waste material.
Sometimes the shoreline-trees-water-horizon-sky shots are a little amorphous and bland. This image provides an interesting focal point (geometric fire ring) which seems to hold the rest of the scene together and invite further examination. Well done!
When I was a young man, spring and early fall was appreciated by me because of the moderate temperatures and lush foliage. Now, as an old man, I appreciate what Shakespeare would describe as the winter of our lives. I now appreciate the stark beauty of this time of the year;bare tree limbs framing a dark blue gray body of water. Even the end of natural and mortal life has a melancholy wonder to it, with the ever prescient glorious promise of the coming spring.

Great photo, but seeing that cold - technically fall -landscape makes me blue. Spring is over 3 1/2 months away.
Better snow than rain. Temperatures are in the 30s, so I'm happy to see the snow.
Best Yet IMHO

Good photo, incidentally. Bare trees are nearly always more picturesque than those attired.
"Better snow than rain."
Not to the millions driving this weekend.

Thanksgiving day in Las Vegas we were blessed with lots of free water from the sky, and more on the way.
Artillery emplacement? Is Madison is concerned the deplorables will do a flanking action.
No snow or rain in Chicago today so far.

"Powdered sugar snow at dawn."

All I knew about flocking was that Rusty made my nose tickle.

"Artillery emplacement? "
Wiccan circle. I'm beginning to wonder about Althouse.
A winter's day, in a deep and dark December...
Are there rules about the use of the fire pit?
I am going to have to come up there and fish sometime.

A bleak day and an abandoned amphitheater. Nice composition.
