Photo Scavenger

Some preserves I made to give away at Christmas, together with a lot of other preserves I made in autumn, trying out the new-to-me preserving with a canning pot. I'm in love with those spiffy labels: I learned that you can just print or write them on regular paper and glue them on with milk, it works perfectly. :)

A week ago, there was no snow yet, but frost, and the results of two days of hoar frost made for some bizarre and weird effects: frozen, humid air forming long needles like these...

I had waaaay too many things to choose from for this one, but narrowed it down quickly by deciding to go with something in the US (even though that means it'll be much more recent history), finally hitting on this photo that I took last February while down visiting my mom in Nevada... although the location in question is in California, on the way to Death Valley.

A 5m high sheep is a weird thing to meet on a mountain road -





Actually something equally weird is why this photo has had 3891 views on my Flickr account - which is as many as all the other pictures added together!

The word for this week is History - that should be fun!
