Blanketed Sky

Today the sky was blanketed with a layer of clouds that were light and insulating rather than oppressive. As a result it has warmed up to just about freezing. The clouds were fluffy & variated gray/blue changing to lemon yellow at the edges. This photo is of the blanket sky on December 5; I failed to get a shot of today's sky. The moon made an appearance on the walk home as the snow finally started to fall. It was just a tiny, blurry sliver behind the light clouds.

The ice that I photographed a couple of days ago in the harbor is all gone. I'm not sure where it went... I don't think it melted. It must have gone out with the tide. There is still slushy ice in the river channels leading to the locks.

It's March. Spring can't be far! It should be about 6 weeks of gray rain and wet cold. Then the air will smell like worms and thawing mud.
