This is my second winter in Virginia and there has been a lot of sunshine during the month of January. I saw a little snow one morning but it was gone by the afternoon. Since the weather has been so mild I thought that I’d return to Colonial Williamsburg for a winter walk. I’ve now been there all four seasons and it is a nice place to see in January. There was even some greenery and I noticed plants growing in a sort of greenhouse. Most of the people out walking wore light jackets and I was comfortable with my winter coat and a hat. I started out wearing mittens but I kept taking them off to take pictures until I realized that I didn’t need them after all!
If you’d like to join me on this walk this is what we’ll see:
In a few days it’ll be February and then it will almost be spring!

Thanks a lot, Meg! :) I love that last photo! Oh, Spring- be still my beating heart! I know what you mean about the gloves. I like fingerless ones when I’m out with the camera, or I end up losing them.

Absolutely. Extremes of anything can be nasty. It is better to walk the middle path, but the weather gods march to a different beat. :-)

Hi Meg, I feel like I owe you an apology since you got cheated out of your rightful spot on our Orples Adventures. I’d set this post up in Early December when I had a little extra time, then banked it until your turn came around. By that time, Christmas was the theme, so I let it lie awhile longer. When I did post in ( … http://orples.net/orples-2/the-orples-visit-auckland-castle-in-bishop-park-in-county-durham-england/ ) I posted it as a mention in the scene I had set up for Jo’s post, since she was next on our list. The post I posted for you was placed in line as to when I set it up. Due to time, I didn’t check into ‘how to change post dates’ … if I can do it at all … Anyway, I thought you might like to check ‘your’ gardening Adventure out, even if we did sorta botch it this time around.

I am so happy you got to see this Meg. One day, when time allows, I’ll figure some of these glitches out so that I am in ‘control’ of my own blog. For now, I wanted you know, you were not forgotten. :)
