Figure 1 – Assabet River Wildlife Refuge Winter. (c) DE Wolf 2015.

Work took me to Fort Worth, Texas this week and the drizzly temperatures in the thirties and forties (F) were a welcome respite from the single digits that we have been experiencing in Boston.  Also welcome was some great food, Mexican and Barbeque.  The Mexican restaurant we had dinner at on Wednesday night seemed to have a theme setting everything on fire theme, flaming fajitas and flaming margaritas.  All was very entertaining.

I am back home.  It is Saturday morning and 8 deg F.  Tomorrow however, promises to copy Fort Worth and be back in the forties, yes with drizzle.  I thought that I would post today another of the series of images that I took just before New Years at the Assabet River Wildlife Refuge.  This is a perhaps more intimate image showing a close up of some flooded trees sticking out of the river.  The lighting was fairly low contrast, dark, and moody.  It befits a New England winter.
