wow! This photo is outstanding. I love how those bright colors in the sky makes the snow stand out. Your focus, framing, and of course the lighting are all good. I would have loved to have seen this in person :) Well done and thanks for sharing this with us :)

Comment from bunkie


Oh, This is truly a unbelievable image to behold. Contrasts between snow laden branches of your softwoods catching catching amber morning rays of the sunlight is gorgeous. Love the way you framed this with the hard tree and want to walk right into your image. Enjoy how you caught how the snow clings like frozen to the branches and wind couldn't blow it off.

Snow might stay there all Spring and Summer right where you live. Just think how beautiful that would be. Oh Deb this is such a wonderful image and used to think Spring and get more snow too. Can see though your days are getting longer and just a few more and your Tulips will break earth. Very well done and Thank You for sharing.

    The days ARE getting longer Bunkie.....I can see the way the light looks different every day....and snow in March is a given here where I live although I would definitely NOT want to see it in the summer...lol Thank you so much for having a look at my snowy post and you are just a peach for sharing one of your gold stars w/ it. I do really appreciate it...and your very lovely review too my friend.

    You are so welcome. Yea, the same in Wisconsin with snow. Just the minute think seen the last of it, Wam! Even in April but doesn't stay on ground long. I always looked for those melt holes in the snow from direct sunlight-lol- in February.

    The first year I lived in Vermont Bunkie it snowed in MAY! OMG.....it melted by the end of the day but whenever I get sick of snow in March I think of THAT and don't feel so bad about a March snowstorm....lol

Question mark is right; at least you have a nice colored sky; love the snow covered tree look; look like Christmas trees; nice contrast of the sky and white and green colors; good depth effect; we're supposed to have the 30s again in a couple days, uggh; very cozy, inviting scene; nice shot; wonder if something is living in there; does look cold; take care. Keep 'em coming.

    Oh all kinds of things live there swimmer.....including me....it's just a hop, skip and jump from the house. Saw a huge bull Moose right in the middle there early last fall!! You are very kind for having a look at this one and I so appreciate the most excellent rating. You spoil me....

Comment from Shadow catcher


Beautifully captured image,trees laden with snow against a gorgeous pastel hued sky. Yes,it is only March,we already had red-wing blackbirds and robins return before we also got 2' here in upstate NY.Yep, March can be worse than Jan,and Feb. combined! This would make a pretty Christmas card.Can almost feel the crispness in the air-oh wait,I just need to open my front door-lol! Thanks for sharing this lovely scene!

    LOL...spoken like only someone who has dealt w/ 2' of snow in March SC! The birds have not returned here yet....just the little Chickadees at my feeders and they're here all winter. Robins soon I hope. So...thank you VERY much for having a look at my latest piece and I do s appreciate the very wonderful rating. Definitely made me smile here this morning.

Comment from Malmax


Well this is the most unique photo I have ever seen of spring! lol. Don't feel bad
Deb, we got some snow the past several days also but not as much as you. This is a fabulous spring scene, just covered with the new blanket of white, but underneath are all the amazing bulbs and buds just getting ready to burst when the time is right! I can see it coming. And yes, spring really isn't official yet
anyway. A beautiful photo and I hope my lame attempt
to make you keep thinking
of spring worked just a little bit.

    Not lame at all dear Marsha and you are just a doll for trying to talk me out of my late winter doldrums! Like you I have spent countless winters thinking about how amazing it is that all my flowers go for months absolutely buried in snow but then return to me each spring/summer. Just crazy isn't it! Anyway, thank you so much too for the wonderful review for my snowy piece. I do really appreciate it Marsha.
