Rain this afternoon. Drops of water hanging on the ends of needles.
If you look close enough at those drops of water perhaps you’ll get a glimpse of world around you.
These needles capturing the rain are the needles of one of our native trees, Virginia Pine (Pinus virginiana). The needles are 1.5 to 3 inches long, growing in twisted pairs.

A snow that sticks to everything. Wonderful for photographs. We had some like this twelve days ago. It was a marvelous 2.75 inches, but this image is from the end of January, 2005. Its been captured by a Virginia Pine (Pinus virginiana) with its handsome cones and needles that are 1.5 to 3 inches long. Those needles growing in pairs with a twisted shape.
And today is a day to celebrate. It’s the first full day of astronomical winter. I wonder what this new season will bring.

Rain drops on Virginia Pine (Pinus virginiana). Perhaps this is will be the look of things tomorrow afternoon and into the night. I hope.
