Embracing winter

 

We’re entering the part of the year when winter is truly settling in. Even though the days are getting longer, the end of year holidays are over and we’re entering the home stretch of the dark season before spring arrives.

In the spirit of fully embracing my art, regardless of the season or weather, here are some images I took today on my way back home after trying to do some photography at a wildlife refuge south of where we live. 

Unfortunately the roads in the refuge were still trashed after heavy snow earlier this week, so I thought I was heading home empty handed. On the way home the sun filtering through the overcast clouds gave the farmland a dreamy appearance that I had to capture. I’m happy I pulled over to the side of the road to take these photos, five minutes later the sun came out and the image was gone.
