Beautiful August Sunset

pink and orange clouds after sunset — The clouds caught the sunlight after the sun had dipped below the horizon. Taken from the Market Basket parking lot in Wilmington, MA, hence the street lights.

Hoth

The northeast region of the US has been in a (relative) deep freeze for weeks. Last night we bottomed out at -12° F.

Pictured is our oldest child trudging across the desolate, Hoth-like expanse that is (was?) Silver Lake. Most of the snow has blown off, leaving a crusty powder that almost, but doesn’t quite, support you.

Not pictured: the tauntaun that I split open to keep the children warm overnight.

Ice-pinging on Silver Lake

While walking the dog around the lake this morning, I heard the newly-formed ice ‘pinging’ as the sun rose above the trees. Turn up the volume to hear it.
