I took these back in December, when I ventured up to the top of the Capitol.

I caught this sunset the evening before my accident. It was 0° F, with a -16° wind chill, but the sun’s glow on the horizon under the dark clouds made enduring the cold worthwhile.

A photograph I did not take, of the raised crack in the sidewalk, that I tripped over.
The temperature was -12 (Fahrenheit) with a wind chill of -29. I was rushing from my car to get into work and out of the cold. My left shoulder took the brunt of the fall after I tripped. I ended up breaking my humerus in a few places at the ball end, and surgery was needed to fix things. I now have a titanium plate with TWELVE screws in my upper arm bone. No doubt, I’ve got a lot of physical therapy in my future.

Before the polar vortex
A wonderfully sunny, 48 degree, pre-polar vortex lunchtime walk yesterday. The temperature is predicted to drop 50 degrees over two days. You’re such a tease, Mother Nature.

If trees could talk

Venison for lunch
More snowy owl pics from Sunday. A few minutes after I first saw her, she decided to fly down for a snack at a deer carcass that was off the side of the road.
