I think I know why a lot of people don’t like
winter. I think it has to do with the
landscape being so dull and brown and colorless in comparison to landscapes in spring, summer
and fall. It can be pretty
depressing. But winter does have its
color. You just have to search around
for it. Granted, on a day like today
here in Central Massachusetts, it would be hard to find. It’s very dull, grey and foggy out. But yesterday! Yesterday was glorious! The sky was blue, the air was clear and it
was downright beautiful out. I convinced
Greg that we needed to go for a short ride after lunch and here are some of the
things we saw.
And even at home, the air hummed with color.
The white background just makes everything look bright.
I'd say that Nemo dropped about half a barn door of snow on us.
But it was beautiful on that sunny day!

Beautiful photos, Barbara! I love the stark trees in the snow and the wet winding road. One only has to look and find beauty and colour in the winter. Pamela
Man I love your eye, Barb! Once again, thank you!
oh pretty, pretty images of the snow...giggle at the red & white schoolhouse with the green doors and the cardinal is stunning!!
Nature is the art of God - dante.
I love it.
And I love your quote and rose above - may I use it sometime?
You may or may not think I am crazy...but I absolutely love that barn door shot....just something about it.
You found the beauty! Your cardinal shot is stunning as is your barn door. I thought you got more then six inches, we got about a foot but it melted quickly and with today's rain, it is all gone!
every one of these is gorgeous. love the blues in the roadway, the bark on the tree, the barn door, the green doors of the schoolhouse...
half a barn door of snow, too funny... wouldn't mind having that on a slider for my bathroom door! =)
Who said there is no color in winter was wrong as you showed us in this post and photos, Barbara.
Beautiful! I really like the school and the road! These are really nice, Barbara!
Shane offered to take a short road trip last night but it was way too late... I need to do this soon. Lovely snowy images Barb!
I will say that the snow also helps to brighten up and balance the brown - and you are right about the color being there as it would seem that winter months seem to present crisper, bluer skies. Love that road image - nice.
you found beautiful colors.. since i live in Florida, i can say my favorite time of the year is winter.. it is the summer i don't like down here... glad you made it through Nemo

Personally, I LOVE the colours of winter and like the challenge of taking photos this time of year. True, they are not always successful...but that's also true of my summertime photos. :)
I love the colours of photographs!
