Magical Winter Morn
Last weekend, there was an unexpected snowfall on
Saturday night into Sunday. When I saw
the snow in the morning, I threw on some clothes, grabbed my camera and took
off in my car to photograph the magic of a winter morn.
Winter Tree Stand
There was something about the textures and shadows of
all the trees gathered together that just begged for this to be a black and
white image. Color would only get in the
way of the pattern that the trees created.
Even the fence posts, with their caps of snow, and the wire fencing
added to the overall textural effect of this image.
Winter Barn
On a snow covered dirt road, I happened upon this quintessential
winter scene. The snow that remained on
the trees perfectly framed the old red barn, which seemed to glow in the soft
morning light. The tops of the grass
still showing above the snow line adds a bit of warmth to this image and gives
you the feeling of looking at it from the inside of a nice, warm home.
Early Winter Morning
The sky was especially photogenic on this winter
morn. It was shades of gray, with some
almost cream color in the sky. You can
even see the sun rising just above the horizon.
It, too, is shrouded in cloud cover, so its light is muted.
Long Hard Winter
This poor little cabin has been a favorite photo
subject of mine for several years, and it’s now in such a state of collapse
that you wouldn’t know it used to be a cabin unless you’d seen it in better
days. It still has plenty of character
and reminds me of how hard winters could be on the plains in years past.
Barn in Field
This barn just caught my eye – a bright spot in the
midst of grey and other neutral colors.
I liked the texture of the fence, weeds and old grass peeking up from
the snow. I feel like altho this is a
quiet moment, activity lies just around the corner when the rancher’s family
wakes up.
Pale Blue Winter Sky
There’s nothing quite like the pale blue that a winter
sky can be sometimes. I liked that you
can see it thru the delicate pattern of the winter trees. The fence in the foreground serves to ground
us so we don’t all float away into the blue!
Tree Line
While driving on a seldom traveled snow-covered dirt
road, I noticed this different sort of tree line. I’m not certain if someone planted them in
this way years ago, or how they happened to be lined up so perfectly on the
side of the road, but they remind me of soldiers lining the route of some dignitary. That would certainly not be me!
Enjoy!
