Many people do not like winter and I do understand why, but I believe there is beauty to be found even in winter. Yes, Manitoba winters can be harsh, as we are experiencing right now. We have a raging blizzard outside, many roads have been closed as well as schools and some businesses.
A few weeks ago I was out driving the country roads looking for photo opportunities. The Grey Partridge is a bird I have not gotten great pictures of, but on this day I was given the chance to capture at least one good shot. Be sure to enlarge this image to appreciate the details in those feathers.
A heavy layer of hoarfrost was covering everything. The sun, low on the horizon added to the beauty of these trees.
I pretty much just turned around to see a totally different light on this grove of trees. That evening sun was painting the trees in a soft golden color.
I came home rejoicing over the beauty I had witnessed.
A Closing Thought:
“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.” -John Steinbeck
Oh I am so happy to see you back blogging again. I have missed seeing your beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteI like winter too, the snow is so pretty. I'm sure glad you left a comment!!!
I love the beautiful photos and the quote by Steinbeck. It was very appropriate for your posting.
ReplyDeleteI love the cold weather, but the only thing about our Winter , is that we don't get Snow. Snow is what comes to my mind when I think of how a Winter should really look like. You always capture the best Winter scenes. Happy Weekend Ruth....again, I am so glad you are posting again.
