When the morning light hits the trees
In just the right way;
When the blue bowl of the sky
Hangs like a silken canopy over the frozen lake;
And when the sun sets
In soft pastel purples…
Then … yes then!
Winter is a glorious place to be.

I’m running out of superlatives. 🙂 I am completely in love with that magnificent tree, and how you photographed it with the sun just behind it. I looked for Oscar in the second photo, but couldn’t find him! (Loved Andy’s reference to Dr. Zhivago, that second photo especially evokes memories of that film). The colors and composition of the third photo are really lovely, almost magical.
Our temps right now are in the low 60’s, and except for some tenacious, grubby little patches that never feel the sun, our snow is all gone now, and our sky’s pastels are spring-colored. So I am glad to still get to enjoy your beautiful snowy landscapes and softly tinted skies, at least for a little while longer!
