We had the prettiest snowfall the other night. This is what we woke up to in the morning…gorgeous winter sunlight reflecting off freshly fallen snow. But oh my gosh was it freezing. I did head out with my camera to brave the elements and try to capture another one of my winter "moments". This was taken right outside our front door. Proof that there can be beauty in the 'burbs.
Then I hopped in the car and headed to a local conservation area. Did I mention that oh my gosh was it freezing? I lasted about twenty minutes before my fingers could hardly manipulate the camera anymore. But it was enough time to capture that pretty combination of bright sun and fresh snow.
I have no idea what this thing is. But I loved the contrast of the bright red against the bleaker colours of winter weather. Also in this shot you can kind of see how the wind was blowing and swirling the snow up from the ground and down from the trees. You know the feeling of ice pellets being whipped against exposed skin? Yeah.
One last shot. Nothing snow-covered but this is my favourite one from that little outing. It did capture the gorgeous winter light. So there you are. Some pretty pictures to brighten up your day.
Are we enjoying winter yet?
