Wintery Woods by Allison

Wintery Woods

Best viewed large.

I've been out all day, but this morning, I had to go past these woods, so thought I'd grab a few shots. I was only out for 5 mins, and my hands were frozen, and my face was beetroot red, so quickly scurried back to the car :-)

Also a big thank you for the lovely comments and favs on my last shot........you're all so sweet and very kind.
fantastic scene, love the composition

@cocobella it hadn't been walked on and was quite deep, and I couldn't walk on it....I tried, but I was wearing sneakers and yoga pants....not the best lol Thanks Corinne :-)

Lovely drifts of snow and shadows, Allison. Such a peaceful atmosphere too. When will someone invent a heated camera to keep our hands warm :0)
February 10th, 2014  
Beautiful capture
February 10th, 2014  
@hh lol definitely, or an attachment for a flask....okay the weight of the flask will knock the camera sideways, which will mean the horizon will be wonky, but who cares, at least we'd be nice and toasty ;-)

@allisonraposa ...and a mirror for lipstick!

A fan for hot weather!

A little cubby hole for emergency snacks.

And perhaps a trolly to transport it around.

I think we're onto something :0)

@jpgiorgio thanks JP.......hope you're resting :-)
@derekvickers you're so kind...thank you so much Derek :-)
@ishutter it was very peaceful, although when I've passed them with Aaron he's convinced a monster lives in those woods....such a boy, and such a vivid imagination :-)
@stimuloog thank you so much :-)
@dandelionmama thank you Shandy.....it was really cold, but pretty :-)
@hh hahaha definitely......and don't forget the disco ball for those low light don't want to crank up the ISO situations ;-)

Very peaceful and even graceful, Allison. A winter wonderland! But yeah, a small one can easily turn a forest into a monster's playground. :)
