Took the dog out for a walk. Ptown shows her beauty in a brutal way - cold and windy. The sunset was just breathtaking.

#Ptown #Provincetown #sunset #winter

A view down a quiet coastal street at dusk toward a tall stone monument (the Pilgrim Monument) decorated with vertical strings of white lights. Houses with white picket fences and bare trees line the road under a moody, dark blue sky.

Up in the morning’s no for me,
Up in the morning early;
When a’ the hills are cover’d wi’ snaw,
I’m sure it’s winter fairly…

Up in the Morning Early
by Robert Burns

Cauld blaws the wind frae east to west,
The drift is driving sairly;
Sae loud and shrill I hear the blast,
I’m sure it’s winter fairly.

CHORUS
Up in the morning’s no for me,
Up in the morning early;
When a’ the hills are cover’d wi’ snaw,
I’m sure its winter fairly.

The birds sit chittering in the thorn,
A’ day they fare but sparely;
And lang’s the night frae e’en to morn,
I’m sure it’s winter fairly.

CHORUS
Up in the morning’s no for me,
Up in the morning early;
When a’ the hills are cover’d wi’ snaw,
I’m sure its winter fairly.

22.12.25 – New goal: $200 📌

#NeedWinterClothesForChildren

From Haneen (15.12.25):

"We have been displaced 12 times
And every place had several months
The last place we were in Khan Younis
We lost everything in our house and we have nothing left.
Each of my children needs $200 to buy enough clothes because our clothes are very worn out."

🌟PROGRESS: 89/200🌟

Naeema's hand holds a ring-shaped biscuit in front of the camera, framing Saji looking directly at the camera through the ring's hole. Saji is wearing a dark-colored shirt and has a neutral expression. The background is slightly blurred but suggests an interior setting with red and patterned fabrics.

In the background, the twins Aylan (on the left) and Elias (on the right) are sitting with their legs crossed in the tent. They look shy. In the front, there is Max, a grey cat, who seems to sleep, the eyes closed.

Lourd on my hert as winter lies
The state that Scotland’s in the day.
Spring to the North has aye come slow
But noo dour winter’s like to stay
For guid,
And no’ for guid!

Lourd on My Hert
by Hugh MacDiarmid

Lourd on my hert as winter lies
The state that Scotland’s in the day.
Spring to the North has aye come slow
But noo dour winter’s like to stay
For guid,
And no’ for guid!

O wae’s me on the weary days
When it is scarce grey licht at noon;
It maun be a’ the stupid folk
Diffusin’ their dullness roon and roon
Like soot
That keeps the sunlicht oot.

Nae wonder if I think I see
A lichter shadow than the neist
I’m fain to cry: “The dawn, the dawn!
I see it brakin’ in the East.”
But ah
– It’s juist mair snaw!

The view from the window at dad’s place in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula is partially obscured with the blizzard conditions they’re experiencing there. So far, power remains on, thank goodness. Wind gusts in the area are 60mph. Expecting 12-15 inches of snow. #snow #michigan #upperpeninsula #winter

A view through a window showing a snowy landscape outside. The window panes are partially obscured by snow, with trees and a building visible in the background. Snow is piled up along the bottom of the window.

A prickly bush with red berries. The red pops vibrantly between the deep green and in front of the light blue sky.

Black and white photograph of a rural and misty winter landscape, with snow-covered fields, a tree stripped of leaves and isolated in the foreground contrasting against the white snow, and a forest edge behind, which disappears into the greyish sky and mist.

Photographie noir et blanc d'un paysage rural et brumeux en hiver, avec des champs couverts de neige, un arbre dédudé de feuilles et isolé à l'avant-plan contrastant sur la neuge blanche, et une lisière de forêt derrière, qui se perd dans le ciel et la brume grisâtres.

Photograph of a large tree stripped of its leaves in winter, its lower branches curved upwards. The tree is backlit. Behind is a landscape of small mountains and hills covered in forest, the one behind higher and greyish, the one in front closer and lower, with green conifers and yellowish leafless trees, under a grey-blue sky.

Photographie d'un grand arbre dénudé de ses feuilles en hiver, dont les branches inférieures sont incurvées vers le haut. L'arbre est à contrejour. Derrière se trouve un paysage de petites montagnes et collines couvertes de forêt, celle derrière plus haute et grisâtre, celle devant plus près et basse, avec des conifères verts et des arbres sans feuilles jaunâtres, sous un ciel gris-bleu.

Unusual winter colours
Photograph of the forest covering the lower slope of a small mountain in winter on a misty day. The forest is green with a slight reddish hue, composed mainly of conifers and leafless trees, the colours standing out strangely beneath a layer of ice after freezing rain and fog. The trees highest on the slope are obscured by the mist, under a white, overcast sky.

Couleurs inhabituelles d'hiver
Photographie de la forêt couvrant le bas du flanc d'une petite montagne en hiver par un jour brumeux. La forêt est verte et légèrement rougeâtre, formée essentiellement de conifères et d'arbres dénudés de leurs feuilles, les couleurs ressortant étrangement sous une couche de glace après le verglas et la brume. Les arbres situés les plus hauts sur la pente disparaissent sous la brume, sous un ciel couvert et blanc.

Black and white photograph of dead grasses and wildflowers partially covered by snow, their stems encased in ice, at the edge of a snow-covered field. In the background, at the edge of the field, the dark forest is barely visible through the mist.

Photographie noir et blanc d'herbes et de fleurs sauvages mortes partiellement recouvertes par la neige, les tiges recouvertes de glace, aux abords d'un champ enneigé. En arrière-plan, en lisière du champ, la sombre forêt est à peine visible à travers la brume.

A black and white photograph of a rural winter landscape shows two snowmobiles with headlights on, emerging from the forest and descending a snow-covered hillside, following a trail marked by posts on either side. The forest lies on either side and behind, disappearing into the thick mist.

Photographie noir et blanc d'un paysage rural en hiver, montrant deux motoneiges aux phares allumés, sortant de la forêt et descendant la pente d'une colline enneigée, suivant une piste marquée par des poteaux de chaque côté. La forêt se trouve de chaque côté et derrière, disparaissant dans la brume épaisse.

I moved ~1,200 lbs of logs from one side of the garage to the other. I never really thought I would move appreciable fractions of a ton of anything by hand before I owned a house. Luckily I didn't have to go up.

Very honored to win first place in the juried Beautiful Watercolors Special Feature contest December 2024 with my handmade watercolor painting

Robin in a winter landscape - https://karen-kaspar.pixels.com/featured/robin-in-a-winter-landscape-karen-kaspar.html

Robin in a winter landscape is a watercolor painting in landscape format hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A European Robin sits on a snow-covered branch in the middle of a gentle winter scene. The bright orange breast feathers form a striking contrast to the soft, cool colours of the wintry background. Delicate twigs are lightly dusted with snow, lending the scene a calm and frosty atmosphere. Soft blue and white tones fill the background and suggest a cold but calm atmosphere.

I think Mastadon like pretty mushrooms and moss, but how about some appreciation for the ugliest moss I've found on my hikes 😁

I don't know what it's called so I'm calling it Fake Vomit Moss.

Let it snow! ❄️

I have added snow to my instance during the winter holidays. It's a tiny JS canvas and fades out on scroll down. The snow is also respecting the system accessibility settings, it won't be there if you prefer reduced motion.

Here's the source code for server admins: https://github.com/ronilaukkarinen/mastodon/commit/9bf1563af50842a5f61b34b7cc095fb746e5d15b#diff-5fcd1b6168ec33e0eff0a05fcdeacfab68e261215bbdb719be6b3526173be770
See the snow yourself: https://mementomori.social
