Real winter almost happened: fluffy white snow covered the ground, truly cold temperatures kept the snow fresh and froze the ice on the ponds and lakes and decorated brookside banks with sparkling crystal. Christmas Day, at least, looked like winter. But even before the Christmas season could make it to Holy Family Sunday -- let alone Three Kings' Day -- it started raining. The temps are above freezing today. The white snow is replaced by white fog, no crystalline ice decorates the creeks, although crystal-clear raindrops decorate the twigs of shrubs.
Ah well, at least the fog and the raindrops do offer their own kind of beauty:
A small island in the Hudson River at Moreau almost seems to be floating in a cloud.
Looking north on the Hudson toward the Adirondacks, is that a cloudbank floating above the distant mountains, or is it rising fog?
These evergreen boughs and twinkling raindrops have a lovely Christmassy appearance.
These Santa-red twigs look as if they were hung with Christmas lights.
