I’m surrounded by streams, lakes and rivers. Around each new bend, I discover a new source of water. This time of year, the snow often visits its close cousin. The snow entertains the water while it continues its busy work. They make good companions because they understand each other. They are family. Eventually, the snow will melt and join in the family quest. Then, it will be Spring.
I’m now hoping we get loads of snow in the UK! – these images are gorgeous 🙂
Thanks. Glad you like them.
Such beautiful shots! Was there a little bridge where you took some of these shots? Cause i was fleetingly wondering how you got some of the angles, when the perspective was smack dab in the middle of the water.
My fave is the second one. Such a great shot of the streaming water.
Tasha, Some where on bridges and some were near the road. Thanks for your kind comments. 🙂
This is exactly how I love to see snow – in photographs. I hate the real thing, so I’m hoping we don’t have any in the UK 😉 These are stunning. They qualify for a reblog! Hope you don’t mind.
No, I loved to be reblogged. Thanks so much!
Reblogged this on Simply Stunning Images.
I can hear the silence. Thank you!
You are welcome. 🙂 Glad I can help.
There are few things as stunning and thought-provoking as snow and water together. Beautiful, delicate shots!! I love the lacy-looking branches.
Thanks for your kind words. 🙂 I am glad you keep looking at my pics.
Beautiful shots.
Thanks Doug.
Ice encrusted landscape make such wonderful photos. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! 🙂
Wonderful pictures Seth! 🙂
Hey, Thanks!>
I love pictures of winter — it’s just winter I hate! In answer to your question yesterday — it will start melting around the middle/end of March. So, we’ve got a long haul yet.
Yes. I bet summers there are fabulous!
This is beautiful!
Thx!
Very cold….. but very nice
It wasn’t too cold when I took these 🙂 Thanks for the kind words.
Stunning photography. Beautiful cold, icy, wonderous, tranquility. Oooo that cold water, those snow-laden bony limbs…Fabulous post!!

Thanks Autumn Jade!
I love snow scenes!!
Thanks Rory!
16 down is real abstract, great shot
Thanks Russell! Glad you like.
just beautiful…while all are wonderful, my favourites, if I’m picking, are the second one and the last one. I love water photos and these two speak loudly to me…maybe sometime you will post the last one in black and white?
Thanks Heather. I’ll see what it looks like in b&w. Nice idea.

Great images of snow and water, hope you are all safe and warm and ready to begin the new year. Thought I would add a poem by Emily Dickinson called The Snow that never drifts.
The Snow that never drifts —
The transient, fragrant snow
That comes a single time a Year
Is softly driving now —
So thorough in the Tree
At night beneath the star
That it was February’s Foot
Experience would swear —
Like Winter as a Face
We stern and former knew
Repaired of all but Loneliness
By Nature’s Alibit —
Were every storm so spice
The Value could not be —
We buy with contrast — Pang is good
As near as memory —
Gorgeous!
Thanks Deborah.
Absolutely stunning photos!

Yes I am. 🙂 It’s a wonderful place to take a drive.
Beautiful photos 🙂
Ruth, thanks so much!
So pretty! Like a winter wonderland 🙂
Ally, yes it is. 🙂
I love the snow. I love water. Your pictures are amazingly awesome. They tell me the pictures in my mind are not just figments of an over active imagination. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

I do not like the cold but I keep falling in love with your photos. I’ve never seen such beauty with my own eyes.
That’s so kind. Thanks.
These are absolutely brilliant. Stunning!
Thanks. 😎
So Beautiful! I despise Winter…I hate the cold, Summer is my birth month and my true favorite season, however; I LOVE taking pictures of snow…Go figure! I’m a damn New Englander…with Floridian blood!
Funny. I was born in August as well. I am a Leo. I still enjoy some winter though.
Breath takingly beautiful and the exact opposite of Melbourne’s weather this week……………..
Well, glad I could bring a bit of cool to your heat! 🙂
Lovely muted palette of blues. Almost lavender in some shots. Subtly expressive. Very nice.
Thank you. 🙂 Glad you like them. I think the cool blue adds coolness and makes folks shiver. 🙂
And in the frozen world all melts away into nothingness…..a frozen world of beauty…..thanks!
Thanks smallpebbles.
Frozen wonderland! Beautiful!
Thanks! Happy New Year! 2013

Wow thank you.
Wow amazing photos!!
Thanks yolonce12 🙂
Absolutely stunning. I would have no problem hanging any of these pictures in my home!
THanks so much Matt. 🙂 That is the ultimate compliment.
Oh My Gosh! Seth, you took such amazing pictures, here in my country I love taking pictures of historical heritage and old building, about nature, actually I love taking pictures of rivers, trees, beaches and so on. You took such marvelous pictures in a season that I’ve never met, here the weather is different. Cuz I live in a tropical country. In summer, here’s very hot, sometimes with a hot rain, warm, but actually I don’t like hot weather. But in winter here’s cool, rainy, but not freezing. Sometimes flood places, but the rain makes your routine being disturbed but I don’t kick against the weather, that’s nature and I love nature. Congratulations I hope to make my dream come true, meeting cold places and being lying on the snow.
Andinho. You are too kind. I would love to visit your country sometime. I’ve actually been only once and that was in the airport on my way to Buenos Aires. But you have such beautiful flowers and beaches and rain forest. 🙂
