Cold Winter, Bright Scenes


1. We took down our Christmas decorations on January 1st. This star was in our kitchen window and it had a yellow cast. I filtered it and then made it black and white


2. Here's a flower arrangement to share with Floral Friday and Weekend Greens.



3. I've heard that sunsets are "trite" subjects but I like them.  I exited from the highway to find a spot to take a picture of this one.


Please visit Orange You Glad It's Friday and consider linking up. Participation has been dropping there. On the other hand, Skywatch Friday is very popular, and proves that other photographers like colorful skies too.

4. I had an appointment in Winchester today and went to Millwood afterward to get photos of the ice. Frank took the picture of me. The air was only 14° F.


5. Here are other pictures of the Burwell Morgan Mill and frozen millrace. As soon as we left there, I headed to Sheetz for hot coffee.

  3. Great filter for the star photo but how freezing cold it looks by the mill which is such a scenic spot in all weathers!

  11. Linja, that looks so cold... it's been low here in SW Florida too (for this area) but no ice or snow.
    Anybody who thinks beautiful skies are trite has something wrong with them in my opinion! Thanks for sharing yours!!!
