rain on snow


JapaneseMapleNov06.jpg

This may be the last snow photo for a while. Oh, it's been snowing here again since noon. However rising temperatures will change it to rain soon, according to the weather forecast. Our short-lived white wonderland will be washed away and it will be a dreadful wet mess as the rain saturates the piles of snow and creates flooding. Yuck, I dislike rain on top of snow.

I spent today working at home on my Christmas card design, so tomorrow I really want to get to the studio to print! We will see in the morning....where are my rubbers?

Your own Christmas cards? Neat (and understandable, of course...). Do you mind reproducing one on your blog?

Yes, Peter, some years I make my own cards. I was planning on posting it here closer to Christmas. You may be interested in seeing the blog version of the one I made last year. It's based on a photograph of frost fractals on a skylight.

Dave, thanks - I know how you love trees!

Dang -- this reminds me so much of Mondrian's Grey Tree.

As always, a delight to come by and see what you've seen.

Lori, that's amazing, and that you saw that! The pleasure is mutual, you know.

I can't wait to see what you come up with for this year's card! And I love the connection Lori made to Mondrian's tree.

MB, this year's card isn't very exciting, being more traditional because I left it too late and didn't give myself enough time. Just a warning...

M-L, excitement isn't always required. Somehow I have confidence that it will be a good one, no matter what. ;-)

MB, you are too kind, thank you. I got them all printed yesterday, cut and trimmed, and under boards to flatten them. I hope to start writing a few this weekend to go to family in Finland.
