Sun trying to find a spot to poke through right now but clouds are a majority...again. Brighter...but no sun still. Should start tomorrow but then we'll have Lake Effect streamers coming.
Camellias and green grass added some color to the bleak landscape, a la tom77falcons.
Crocodile
I like the green grass, etc, but tbh, the street photos from Rimini Italy look a lot less winter like than that part of Florida. Go figure.
And I think you mean alligators. There are no crocodiles native to that far north in Florida, unless they are moving there. I haven't seen anything that states that though. There are very few crocs left in the extreme southern Everglades and Keys.
A beautiful sunny day to start the new year
Happy 2016 from Italy!
Doesn't look like winter at all. But then again, Europe doesn't have to deal with the PNA like we do. Every other connection can like up to like the AO and the NAO and still that damn PNA can kill us. And despite all the storms, the blob is still there.

Southern and Western Part of Europe is really more "green" in winter,like the U.S West Coast,but eastern Europe Is Like Northeastern U.S.
Interesting to see olives used as street trees, Do the olives get harvested?, or are there messy sidewalks for a few weeks every year?
Pine trees are an interesting choice as well, although stone pines look better than most pines. Are the producing pine nuts yet?
Hi Joe, actually those along the first street aren't olive trees but quercus ilex. Stone pines are beautiful and looks very "italian", although the old ones dramatically lift sidewalks with their roots.
I've never noticed when pine trees produce cones (I thought year round?), but while I was walking down those streets at a certain time a pinecone fell down on the pavement. In my garden sometimes pigeons throw pine cones from the rooftop and then eat pine nuts when cones are broken on the pavement below
