Snoulman in Progress - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Venus, Jupiter and Moon Gazing!


I pass by this church pretty much every time I head out for a walk.  As Tom and I approached this parking area on Thanksgiving day we thought this was something we had not seen before and found it to be an interesting nature show. 

This cotton candy like spun snow was formed as the winds blew across this parking area.  The photo below shows the snow rolling into a ball as it is blown about.  Was it the wind or happy ghosts at play?  Looks like a footprintless soul was rolling balls to make a snowman.  


Tonight we admired the Moon, Venus and Jupiter...isn't there a song about this alignment?


That concludes my nature show for this week.  Wish I had a Super Camera to more clearly capture those stars!  Some things are just meant to be enjoyed in the moment, I have a clear picture stored in my mind.

Happy stargazing...watch for Snowman Ghosts.  You never know!

  2. How funny....

    down in Australia we got a happy face. The moon was angled so that the face was smiling.
    You got the grumpy face.
    The kids and I raced out to see it and it was amazing.

  6. I've never seen snow do this before! But this morning I saw some inexplicable tracks like your snowballs (or ghosts) are leaving. Maybe my ghost took the snowball home with him/her.
