Winter Wonderland Pictures....

Winter is cold and messy... and many like to complain about it ....
                        but winter is also so beautiful.....








 Freezing fog with snow on the ground... and a bench overlooking the shadowy river....
A common country scene... with a coating of snow and fog... 





Trees coated in freezing fog.... 




A heavy coating of freezing rain and ice... treacherous on roads, but beautiful on trees... 


The lake looks different with snow and a wonderful reflection... 



A mysterious look to a normal place.... 



An old tower that stood sentinel for many years.... gone now, but beautiful in snow... 



A quietly hushed scene of a place that can ring with laughter.... 


A normal country road... with a magical change. 




A bright spot in the winter.... 


How amazing that a coating of ice, fog or snow can so completely change a scene.
How wonderful that something people like to complain about... can also be beautiful.
I continue to be amazed by the creativity of God who made such beauty.

I hope you also enjoy the beauty in winter.... I like all of the seasons.
Winter can be fleeting or can also seem long... but what a beautiful season to enjoy. 

Do you enjoy winter... and winter scenes? Which pictures are your favorites?
I'd love to hear from you... thank you for visiting.

    1. Thank you. I think I would miss the snow if I lived away from it .... though I don't always like the mess or cold of it! Still, it certainly has a beauty that I really enjoy. I love photographing it. Thank you for visiting. :)

  2. Oh, how beautiful! I love the hushed quiet of winter. It truly is my 2nd favorite season, with fall being my first. I don't like to drive in the snow and ice, though, and prefer to hibernate during those times! I had a hard time picking a favorite photo, but I think it would have to be a toss-up between #4, #6, #8, and #10! But, truly I love them all!

    1. Thank you... I have found that I have learned to appreciate winter more and more... I used to LOVE spring the most. I still love it with its new beginnings and freshness, but I also love the quiet hush of winter... even the stormy blasts that leave such beauty behind. I agree... it would be hard to choose just one scene as a favorite and looking at the pictures reminds me of how I felt when I took them... that wonder and rush to capture as much as I could. :) Thank you for visiting.
