The Red Ribbon by taffy

The Red Ribbon

The snow kept coming, and now the arctic temperatures are coming in. Reminds me why winter is best enjoyed indoors in front of a fire or curled up watching Downton Abbey!
This same view looked quite different in the fall, if interested: http://365project.org/taffy/365/2013-11-12

Wow, what a stunning contrast with the golden autumn scene. Love the pop of red under those snow-laden branches. Stay warm, Taffy!!

Beautiful! Love the selective color! Fav!

Amazing how the red stands out so well. I like the way it leds my eye into the distance.

Wow so different to the fall image.The natural black and white with that red bunting is beautiful.
While we don't have snow it has been cold and windy. I wish we had a little white stuff, you will laugh at this - snow or ice shut down this city!

@sianipops Snow doesn't shut us down normally, but you know it's really bad right now with the arctic temperatures -- we just got an email from the university president telling us to work from home if we are 'non-essential' at the school. That NEVER happens.

@taffy whoohoo if you are non-essential! I have heard it's really bad, it is definitely wide spread for us to be feeling the effects of it down in Texas at the same time as you not later when it moves on from the north. Batten down the hatches!

...it does look like a Christmas card... (but then, so do palm trees with the caption, "Mele Kalikimaka"!)
January 6th, 2014  
Wow! That pop of red! Fav

That red is such a great touch. It really helps with the strength of the composition

The red works so well in this shot.

@sianipops Definitely non-essential and can easily do my work from home since I don't teach on Mondays. Yay! Thanks for your comments!

I like the splash of red.
January 6th, 2014  
good presentation - stay warm!
January 6th, 2014  
cool

Your snow is so famous, it is even reported in Welington today. Take care.
January 6th, 2014  
Beautifully composed! I love seeing the same spot through different seasons. Looks cold there. We flew home yesterday from Cali and a bunch of flights got cancelled because of east coast weather. (Planes getting stuck there) Unfortunately ours was not one of them:( brrrrr

You have such a great eye Taffy. I need to acquire one a tenth as good! Fav

Awesome capture and the red gives it life.
January 6th, 2014  
You have captured a very beautiful scene.
January 6th, 2014  
Nice capture!
January 6th, 2014  
Nice to see the contrast between autumn and winter. Love the composition and processing on this. Fav

Beautiful! Mother Nature is sure having a temper tantrum this winter! Having survived an ice storm, heavy snows, deep freezes, it's now raining, temps are above freezing. All that snow and ice are melting quickly, leaving the roads looking more like rivers. Worst thing is - temps are expected to drop about twenty degrees by this afternoon. A good day to stay home!

Great SC and a lovely shot.
January 6th, 2014  
Great wintery shot :)
January 6th, 2014  
Really love this, with the snow and that bright red. Cool comparison to the fall too!
January 6th, 2014  
fabulous winter shot, stunning!
January 6th, 2014  
I love the processing and how that red ribbon just pops!
January 6th, 2014  
Really interesting to see the contrast between the two shots. Really love the bright red against the snow. Fav.
January 6th, 2014  
Beautiful shot, great use of selective colour
January 6th, 2014  
Very effective, nice shot,
January 6th, 2014  
Just down right lovely!
January 6th, 2014  
Wonderful shot - love the pop of red!! I hope you will be working from home - it must be awful to go out in such low temperatures!! You have the snow and extreme cold and we are having the wind and rain and floods!!
January 6th, 2014  
Love the white and red together. Any idea when Downton is going to have new episodes? I keep recording on the off chance it will be new but all reruns so far.

@rill The fourth season started last night -- a 2 hour special to kick it off. I'm guessing you can watch it on pbs.org website so you're caught up for next week. It's still on Sunday nights at 8:00 CST.
January 7th, 2014  
@taffy Thanks so much! I checked and I don't get it until this coming Sunday, which means I haven't missed it :) :) :) Thanks so much for the heads up!
January 7th, 2014  
@rill Oh good--I'm glad you didn't miss the start! I thought it was a reasonably good start to the season -- but t hen, I'm a total fan even knowing its faults!
January 7th, 2014  
terrific capture, love that splash of red
January 7th, 2014
