With the recent and accumulating snow, TLV thought it a good idea to do some property maintenance on a camp we sometimes visit.
The day was pretty springlike despite the cold weather we've had lately, so there was quite a lot of melting going on.
I find dripping water almost as fascinating as our cats do, so I took a few pictures. One of the things I like is the stop-action of seeing a drop mid-fall. But what I found really interesting looking at these on the computer is how the water starts out as a single stream, then breaks up and elongates, and then becomes almost spherical. It's quite surprising to me how auickly this sequence transpires.... within a foot or so of leaving the drip edge. I expected the elongated drops to last almost to the ground; once again surface tension shows its force!
After moving a bunch of snow, making the property (temproarily) safe from ice dams, we headed south, and stopped off for a short snowshoe up South Pawtuckaway. Nothing too unusual, though we did catch some nice afternoon light. A pleasant walk after some virtuous labor , just the right length.
