Just a Dusting

Just a dusting of snow this morning, enough to confuse the flowers I suppose.

Footbridge

Since it's Thursday, it's time to go into the archives and post a previously unseen photo. This photo of the footbridge atop Jewell Falls (part of the Portland Trails​ network) is from last October.

I was pretty impressed with this vine of morning glories spotted in the West End recently: 

Stroudwaterfall

A recent view of the waterfall/dam at Stroudwater Village. This was taken last Saturday and there wasn't much foliage in the direct area so I decided to focus on the water itself. 

Interested in prints of my photos? This photo and many more are available at Corey Templeton Photography.
