Yesterday’s look kept the growing frost look but added sunshine and blue sky.
The woods with frost and sun:
Misty mountains and frosted trees on the morning walk:
On the road to the dump:
This one (below), just for me:
Mother Nature displaying misty for me.
More freezing fog, or ice fog and accompanying rime or hoar frost…take your pick on terminology. While the socked in feeling is less than optimal, it is offset by the beauty of the black and white look. All photos are color.
Swamp thing…the frost covered everything and grew on itself.
Yesterday, I went to town on various errands.
The valley floor is 2900 feet above sea level. My property is at almost 3200 feet. It was clearing at home before I left. It was dense fog on the valley floor.
I returned home to find the sun shining. I unloaded, worked a bit, the fog rose.
After sunset it cleared again morphing into a beautiful, starry, moonlit night.
Karl and I walked by the light of this moon. Just like the sunrise, sunset and alpenglow, I never tire of watching the moon and the stars. A still and beautiful night by the light of a waxing half moon.
Ok, so the winter photo was taken January 3 …
I am sending some photos to a pro lab for printing. A couple of readers would like to purchase prints and I’ve never printed anything so am unsure how things will come out at larger sizes and how colors will render. I decided to do some test prints for myself. I knew I wanted one of “The Road Home” photos and even have thoughts of putting together a series from different times of the year. I have been looking through the photos to see how close I came to getting the same angle. These are the two that are the closest and they are pretty darn close!
I posted them together today as the contrast between Spring and Winter is incredible, even to me. Right now, it is hard to remember that it ever gets so green.
