I haven't been as good about my #Barnscape and #MorningWalk photos lately --- it's been so cold in the mornings!
So thinking I'll add a few new views to where I typically take my morning walk photos. Here's one candidate -- a different view of the barn, not the most scenic -- along with some milkweed pods I was smitten by this morning, looking abandoned and forlorn.
Good morning Mastodon!
Here's a #Barnscape from our #MorningWalk.
Winchester desperately wanted to run in the snow, so we went up to my normal pic-taking spot. By the time I was done snapping this, he was ready to pack it in.
Another pic tomorrow will probably look very different. We're expecting another 3 - 5 inches, I think? (Hard to tell, but already snowing in the pic.) And arctic temps to match beginning overnight. Brrr.
#Barnscape, an un-barnscape, and chickens getting up to no good.
The un-barnscape is taken from where I normally take my semi-regular barn landscape photos, but I'm turned around, 180 degrees.
Photo from our morning walk. Would love to grab my usual #Barnscape photo but the snow is to deep in that area! Will probably try and get out there later this afternoon, when the wind is supposed to be a bit less dreadful.
Really struck by how the sky is nearly the same color as the snow.
Today's walk featured 7 deer, not visible here, who were as startled by us (me and the dog) as we were by them. Big antlers on one. They darted off quick.
Nice sky this morning, great colors.
First #Barnscape in a while -- in part bc it got too dark to do an early morning shot!

Startled some deer this morning, so got to see two white tails scamper off into the trees!
Good morning!
#MorningWalk was pretty this morning! Staying dark fairly late these days. This was at about 6:33.
Weekly #MorningWalk #Barnscape photos.
A bit of fog this morning. Dog was feeling antsy and it made it hard to get a straight shot. Portrait mode was at 6:38 = exact same time as the one I shared last week - the other was about a minute or two earlier.
Hard to see: but there are big patches of the fields now empty, as farmers around us have taken in their beans. Corn is still up -- probably will be harvested this week. But in the portrait/vertical photo, the yellow to the right of the frame is a section that was previously all soy.
The (very dry!) leaves of the soy plants that are left behind are like a pale, crinkly yellow carpet on the field. It's been so dry this year that they had already dropped most of their leaves before harvesting even began.
Had to zoom way out to get the cool cloud cover this morning, so a bit of a wider shot (and way more field!) than usual.
But between the dramatic clouds and the sun just coming over the horizon, was quite the scene for a few minutes!
