Ohio and Mother Nature’s Fickle Moods

2/4/2018

As usual the weather of northeast Ohio has not disappointed once again.  Just when I think I can’t stand another day of the bitter cold Mother Nature gives us a bit of a reprieve and teases us with a sixty degree day.  With a turn of her head we are tossed right back into winter again, but at least we now can see spring teasing us in the future.  I have tried to take a Norwegian view on winter –embracing it, and it’s short days-using the time to my advantage.  Unfortunately I have found myself undisciplined and tired putting my feet up while binge watching ridiculous crime shows.  I have been taking the dog on walks when possible; there have been many days that are just too cold for her older paws.  There have also been days, while temperate enough; there is just too much ice and snow to navigate safely.  We headed out on one of these particular days, got about a third of a mile from the house and turned around.  Every time we would scale over ice and snow piles on the sidewalk she would stop, turn, look at me with a look that said it all “Are you out of your mind?  We are both going to break something”.  Needless to say the walks this winter have been a bit limited.
Well January has now come to an end and February has graced us.  My grandson and I quickly watched the groundhog report, fully knowing what he was going to say-six more weeks of winter.  There had been multiple weather discussions over the last several weeks about what the groundhog’s predictions would be.  He patiently listened to my nerdy obsession with the weather –thank goodness he still tolerates grandma’s quirks.  We came to the conclusion that the groundhog would most definitely see his shadow.  We were right.  In the grand scheme of things six weeks really doesn’t seem that long.  I had better get moving on all these winter projects. 
With that thought in my head and snow falling this morning.  I thought I hardly have any snow pictures this year.  It was snowing pretty hard and the creeks were partially frozen.   So I ventured out-this was a feat in itself- heading out alone with just my camera and pepper spray.  Now if you remember earlier I mentioned the binge watching of crime shows this winter well as I took my first steps down the desolate snow covered path I had the narrator’s voice in my head “on a cold day in Ohio a woman went for a walk in a local park” I was able to quickly push this voice out of my head as the beauty of the morning pulled me in.   I took an hour to enjoy just how quiet it is in the parks when there aren’t many others around.  Before I knew it I realized it was time to grab a hot cup of coffee and upload my images.  I felt regenerated and ready to tackle the rest of this winter with gusto!

    I could say photographer, but I am a collector of minutes in time, visual memories.
