It’s cold. The ponds are frozen. The ground is crunchy. The air burns as you breathe. We all look like astronauts in our big winter coats traversing an unforgiving and hostile land. Even our furry friends are trembling a bit. It’s the dead of winter. There’s no going back to fall only forward to spring. Forward. Forward.
Beautiful photos!
Thank you Melissa.
No snow = good news… Nice snaps!
Thanks John.
I love winter, makes spring so beautiful and it’s like earth dies for a while then comes back to life…
Yes very true. 🙂
I always enjoy seeing a new post! Stunning Pictures! I agree forward to SPRING! Never even reached 20 today! It is 8 with a windchill of -6 as I type…TOO COLD!
It’s cold that’s for sure. Thanks.
Wonderful winter photos. Onward to spring.
Thank you.
Great pics!
Thx.
you have a way with words, as well as with a camera
Thanks.
And spring can’t get here fast enough! Nice shots!
Agree. Thanks.
These are lovely shots. You can actually feel the cold!!
Thank you. 🙂
I especially like the last picture. Full of mystery. If I look hard enough I think I can see spring in the distance….. 😉
Thanks so much.
Gives me hope – half way there already?….you’re looking forward to Spring, I’m longing for Autumn to arrive.
Yes, I don’t know much about Australian weather but I’ve heard about your heatwave. I guess in the fall the temps are much nicer. How cold does it get there in the winter?
Not as cold as where you are 🙂 Only in a few places do we get snow. I heard though that last summer there were places in the US that suffered extreme high temperatures too? Seasons are becoming unpredictable.
Yes, reckon all that climate change stuff was real after all. Although some folks still do not believe it.
Thanks for supporting my photo first of all – here is a great gallery again … frozen blue is my pick. The barn tickled me too – but l love that fade shade of ice blue.
Lovely.
Thanks Viveka.
Awesome photos
Thank you very much….
I love “Frozen Blue”. I just really enjoy reading those titles!
Thanks so much Eliz.
I hear ya bro. Here in Montreal, we are in a deep freeze so definitely looking forward to spring. Great pix!
Thanks!!
Grest mood in these photos. I really feel the atmosphere.
Thank you. 🙂 x
I especially like Frozen Blue.
Thanks! 🙂
Seth is this in Jersey?
It’s in Ohio.
I love “Hidden”.
Thanks Victoria.
Dead winter can also be soothing…like these snaps!
Thanks aklanta.
love the red barn, fences, branches, clouds…everything! getting warmer here…with wind chill -22F… 🙂
Yikes! Cold.
yes…is warmer than it has been for the last two days though! we are supposed to warm up considerably in the next few days…fingers crossed!
Nice set! I love “hidden”… i can see myself living there. Hidden by nature, away from people. Surrounded by animals. I am a little bit of a hermit. Lol.
Yes sounds nice doesn’t it. If you live there then you and your man will have to have Todd and I over weekly for a game of cards and hot tea. Deal? 🙂
That is most definitely a deal!
Arrrg. Bleak, cold, barren. Glad I winter in the desert. I shall bask in the desert sun, take a swim and put on my suntan lotion. :-). Nice pix though.
Winter in the desert sounds nice. 🙂
Hidden and frozen blue were my favorites. I couldn’t choose just one. Your photos are just too lovely for it.
That’s so nice of you! Thanks.
Lovely photos!!
“Bleakness Abounds” is my favorite from these, I think. Nice job, as usual!
Thanks so much~ Glad you like that one.
Brrr! The photos do translate cold. Glad we have 70 in Texas today.
Rub it in why don’t ya! 😉
brrrrr…looking forward to some spring shots. A early blossom maybe! Nice work.
Yes, I think folks are getting tired of my winter shots. 🙂
Red barns, always, get me. I love them! Stay warm up there! Meanwhile I send you and all of your readers some warmth from the Golden State.
We need some of your Californian warmth.
All of the above…lovely. I look forward to your pictures every day.
Thanks Sheila.
Definitely has the brrr look!
Thanks David.
I so enjoy your photos! There is something soft, gentle–even quiet in these images. Very peaceful. 🙂
That’s nice of you. Thanks.
I can definitely relate on the air burning as I breathe—taking out the trash becomes painful in Maine. So much frost—during the day too.
I bet. Beautiful state though.
My favorite is the first photo. My mom grew up in Ohio. She always used to talk about ice skating on the frozen ponds. Good times.
Thanks Jessica.
I loved the texture of wood on Frozen Blue.
Thanks Deborah.
Bleakness Abounds and Hidden were my favorites. I also enjoyed the text you wrote.
Thanks Sasha.
Seth, all are sensational. I love “Hidden”.
Thanks. I’d love to live there. 🙂
Beautiful!
Frozen Blue = My Favorite
Thanks John. 🙂
