ARCTIC BLAST
It's January. It's Winter. It's that time of the year when it snows. Except, snow rarely descends and covers the Dallas, Ft Worth area. Yet, the area is known for its occasional Arctic blast ice storms. Arctic blasts with ice storms are dreaded. Snow is a hundred percent better than sleet and ice.

The Last Sunset. Honorable Mention in Through the Lens Challenge.
It's a little blurry and not the best composition. The sky it captured was not the most spectacular. But this snapshot has become one of my most favorite. When I look at it, I go back to an autumn evening a quarter of a century ago.

Resurgence
When the Covid pandemic evolved into high speed in March of 2020, I was taken somewhat by surprise. I was working full-time at an elementary school when, on the afternoon of Friday, March 13th following school, a meeting was called and we were told we should pack anything we needed to take home with us that day (plants, books, laptops, and personal items including food, etc.). The school's doors were being closed until further notice and though employees would be expected to work from home if needed and were essentially on call, they would remain home until further notice. It was speculated by many, at the time, such would end in mere weeks and we would then resume full operation. Regardless, employees not being in the building for a few weeks would give the maintenance staff time to clean and sanitize each building. Little did we know as we packed our things nothing could have been further from the truth for the worst had not begun.

in the alley are the things hidden. Content Warning.
Quick Note: the photo has been edited. Nothing major except changing it from color to black and white. Over a year ago, during a rather unseasonably warm winter's day, I went to play tourist with a friend in a nearby beach front town. There, I passed this alley, something I had done a hundred times before. Before this day, I merely glimpsed down it, and not once can I recall seeing anything that made me do a double take. If I did, I never took a picture of it.

Third Time's the Charm. Runner-Up in Through the Lens Challenge.
When I was a child growing up near Binghamton, New York, magic happened one night: the Northern Lights - Aurora Borealis - danced for us. This was a good 50 years ago, long before cell phones and Aurora Apps. This was when no one saw them coming, and we were incredibly lucky to catch them at all.

Youngest and Oldest. Runner-Up in Through the Lens Challenge.
Here is a simple selfie of me and a baby. But every picture tells a thousand words, and this is no exception. The baby is Isaac, my youngest cousin. In our family, I am the eldest cousin. We take this picture often, whenever I go visit my cousins. Just the massive age gap - fifty-five years - entertains me. But it's more than that.
