More Winter Wonderland!

On our first trip out to take winter photographs,

we were still in our little neighborhood

and passed a house

that has an old car in the front yard.

It was filled with snowfall from the night before and

I LOVED it!:

I had to do it in Sepia

and

dream it up a bit closer:

Then we headed out to a road that

is across the lake from us.

The road had pines laden with snow

and

this old cabin:

I loved this old

leaning

pine tree, full of snow:

Christmas card

branches of snow:

Love the tracks on

this

little road

in the snow:

One more shot of my favorite gate

with its lampost:

Nobody sneeze under this branch!:

But it does look like Mother Nature did a snow sculpture for us on the branch, doesn't it?

NOSTALGIA!!!

Snowy Scenes

We like to go into the woods right after a significant snowfall.

I love the way all the trees have tons of snow on them.

Like this little tree.

Just look at the pile of snow on it's branches!:

Even bare branches had SO much on them:

And I love the less-traveled roads in the winter:

It is so quiet out there.



When the road curves, you can't even see what is ahead.....





All day long, the sun was trying hard to come out.

This is the closest it came...

just a glow in the sky:

Believe it or not, this is a river.

That little "C" is the only open spot.

And if you look close, you can also see some deer tracks in the middle of the river up towards the top of the photo:

This is looking to the side of the road, into the woods!
Snow, snow everywhere!:




Another lovely winter wood scene:






This branch laden with snow was hanging over our truck when I stopped to take a picture.
Yikes!:


I am hoping the sun comes out sometime this week, so I can get out and take some more shots in the woods....



I prepublished this, it was actually written on 1/12/10...



Did ANYONE see the sun during that week?
