We've been having a lot of wind. Hundreds of branches cover the snow pack. Squirrels becoming more active. Received the annual newsletter from the Vermont botanical & bird club. Talking with my boss about the blue hour. She said it's due to the way light is refracted through the atmosphere at sunrise & sunset. The colors of the spectrum are: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue & violet. She said all the colors can be highlighted during the course of the sunrise/sunset. When you think about it, that's actually how it seems to work. Sunrise starts bluish, and turns to the warmer colors. It goes the other way at sunset. I actually thought I saw some snow the other evening with pastel green highlights. I am either getting better at noticing some of these subtle changes, or crazier. Don't say it, Shawn.

Hey Shawn...I'd be happy to take the bait, but it is waaay too easy of a target.
