Winter’s signs have been barely and rarely visible in northern Ohio this year. But in late January we had a spectacular display of snow. I caught some of the stuff in our neighborhood with the camera and am longing for its return even as I look forward to spring.

Beware, photography friends: Recently one of my photographs of a dumpster was stolen by Friederich Zettl, who manipulated it and called it his painting. Naming it Alice in Anotherland, he even wrote on his blog, “I started this painting with the idea of painting a menacing, destructive, real plane at the top (in a horizontal orientation) and an abstract world below (in a vertical orientation).” He removed the post after I wrote to him, but I still feel robbed. I hope this doesn’t happen to you.
