Tonight, I unexpectedly had the opportunity to take pictures shortly after sunset of the colors of the sky and the reflections in the river. It was truly a gorgeous sight, and I felt completely transfixed by that. I chose to use both my camera and my phone to take these picture. With both, the colors

So, as the cliche goes, if you can’t beat them, join ’em. Which I did today when I had the opportunity to take a photography

The decaying plants can stay until it gets consistently above 50 degrees F (10 degrees C). Decaying plants and snow serve as insulation for the ground and
Winter has always been my least favorite season. The combination of cold temperatures, winds, and darkness was never my idea of fun. When you add the lack of color, winter just felt dismal and best when ended. But this year, something happened to change that. And I guess that something was a steady snowfall. It’s
