skywatch friday

Posted on February 27, 2009 by Lilli Day aka bookbabie

I couldn’t bring myself to post another snowy, barren winter scene… I am sooo over winter. My poor backyard is all brown mud and pools of gray snow, it’s covered with sticks and dried leaves and ringed by wilted and neglected clematis vines. I’m feeling a bit wilted and neglected myself after a long, cold winter (and a long, grief filled year) and I need a dose of color. So here’s my little park across the street before the snow and cold swept in this year. Happy SkyWatch Friday everyone!

So it’s been kind of a long road, but it was a good journey altogether. ~ Sidney Poitier

Beatiful. That looks like the road to a magical land. Utopian.

This is a beautiful shot – I’m sure it is lovely in winter, too. But I can understand why you’re dying for spring to arrive!

Thanks for visiting Versailles! This is a beautiful place and a very good photo. To be honest, I would have loved to see snow! 😉

You are right about snow and more snow. My memories of my two winters in Canada were beautiful for a while ,while the snow was fresh. Then in February, you get the ugly muddy slush.

My sister used to say, looking is very nice, but not so nice being there.

Thanks for visiting my blog.

I’ll take your mud and slush over my dry, dead garden.
Nice historic shot.
