Late Winter afternoon at four o’clock
The sun was rushing off to bed
Where pillowed clouds received it
As it sank to rest.
Five seagulls following the light
Pursued the fading glory in the west,
White arrows in the darkening sky
Following the sun.
Separate and solitary
A single bird made haste
In purposeful pursuit
Fleeing the darkness.
He soared and swooped from side to side,
Powerful, carefree flight
Until six birds vanished
In the Winter sunset.
The sun is going down. Although I took this photo in november, it is still the same view and winter mood today;-)
It's winter, but without snow, just a few degrees below zero. Enough to get a bit of frost. Temporally ice art, as soon as the sun touches it, it's gone.........
"Winter" for just 2 night.... just straight out of the camera, I love ice, gives more depth and mystery....
"Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still."
Quote Dorothea Lange
in the Black Forest mountains since yesterday...
The image is taken in January at the Schauinsland mountain
while waiting for the sunset which just began....

The goldfinch were having fun in my backyard today and so was I. My berry tree has seen better days but I couldn't refuse the birds looked so pretty. I had no idea they stayed so yellow during the winter.

Just back from a quick trip to Grand Teton National Park. It was so beautiful there. However, it only stopped snowing for short periods. We only saw the sun for a couple of hours in 4 days! The mountains never fully showed themselves. But it was fantastic! The wildlife was everywhere and the snow was incredible. In many places such as this, the snow was really to high for me to see over if I wasn't in the truck. Here I kind of put the camera over the mound of snow and prayed I would be able to get it while standing on my tippy toes. It was a true winter wonderland. Just what I was hoping for.
Will catch up with everyone as fast as I can. Can't wait to see what I missed. Hope you are all having a wonderful week!
Red barn and oak tree with a coat of ice. Lake Benson Park, Garner, North Carolina. This is part of a photography series I have started of this old oak tree viewed at different seasons of the year. The title was chosen be my friend Suzanne, who wanted a framed print of this picture.
Winter ist, wenn sich auch die Pferde über Schnee freuen.
Winter is when the horses are happy about the snow.
