The wind was picking up quite a bit here today and we had some waves breaking 2 or maybe 2 1/2 inches on the lake. Rough.

The Sumac is pushing for spring. This  Bud almost looked like it had a freaky little face. From this  angle , just  another bud.

Also want to let all know that the next Bi-Weekly Challenge will be hosted by BusyB beginning 1/29. Don't know about you folks, but I have had one very good time seeing the Childhood Memories that have been posted and look forward to seeing more this week!
