I like the colors in this photo. They are very peaceful. I took this photo last week during the gathering after the funeral of a family member.

Flowers are a quick subject to photograph when I go shopping. Not too much more to say about them the I have said in past blogs.
Enjoy on this cold week.

These little fruits are native to Mexico but have been adopted by American farmers due to their resistance to disease. Tomatillos are used in many Latin American cuisines, particularly in Mexican and Central American dishes, and prized for their ability to add tartness and depth of flavor to sauces, soups, and stews.
It is interesting to find out about new foods when I go shopping. Do not know if I would try them all, just interesting to see them and to photograph them.

Snow and ice today. The temperatures have been around the freezing mark from most of the day so we have had snow and freezing rain. The roads were not that bad to drive on in the morning, were covered in black ice in the afternoon, and were fine for the commute home.

Abstract photo for the day. I have not photographed the covers of products in the 14 years that I have taken a photo a day. I had a calling to take these two photos.
Friday, 01/26/2024: Post photo — Ice.
I did not take a photo today since I was waiting for my hike tomorrow to take photos.
These are photos from my hike. We had some rain in lower elevations and freezing rain in the upper elevations. This caused some nice ice formations on the mountain.

Today I lead my second qualifying hike for the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC). After today’s hike I am officially a four-season local hiking leader. I am now a four-season local hiking leader and a three season upcountry hiking leader. I did have the opportunity to receive my upcountry winter this year but did not want to do it. That is the goal for next winter season. Winter hikes, according to the AMC Worcester Chapter, are hikes between December 1 and March 31.
That is all for now. Until next week, be safe.
