Today, I’m sharing recent photographs of wintry scenes. I have always struggled with winter because I don’t like being cold. At the same time, I recognize the beauty of winter. The bare branches show off the amazing detail of the tree. They show off how complicated the tree’s form really is. As an aspiring visual artist, I really appreciate and love seeing those details. I also love seeing the colors of the sky and the muted colors of the water and the land. Winter is a quiet time. The bumblebee queens are hibernating in safe spaces. They are ground nesters and the earth is truly their home. The honeybees are safe in their nests. So, I went out on various days to get these pictures of the calmness of nature in winter.






Very nice. I just moved to a colder state and need to get out more to photograph the beauty in nature. Thank you for the reminder.
You’re very welcome! I hope that you enjoy your winter photography!
It’s pretty. But in all honesty winter in the North really sucks. Winter does bring out a lot of artsy stuff though and great poetry.
Today, it’s not pretty anymore. It rained a lot yesterday, and it looks dreary. Watching four squirrels run around in circles and nearly bump into one another was funny, however. And, yes, it’s time to create art and poetry.
