Winter Make-Up by digitalrn

Winter Make-Up

Well, the warm weather last week really spoiled us. Ever since the 70 degree temps of last Friday, we have been eagerly awaiting Spring's arrival. Not quite yet we were informed. Since last evening and early this morning, we received an additional 5 inches of snow. I know it is not really that bad, especially when I read about and see some of the photos of some of our friends here on 365, and the snow they are gettinjg. I am not complaining, really. I am just ready for the cold to be over. Everything is brown, but the fresh snow gave everything a nice makeover, and it really was quite beautiful. I always liked how the trees look when they are coated with snow like this. Another cold day tomorrow, but then it is supposed to warm up again.
this is really lovely, Rick. The bokeh is amazing, and the contrast of the snow and tree is very appealing. I also like your frame choice :)

Great shot! Love the blur in the background!
February 23rd, 2011  
Beautiful

This looks really sharp and pretty. I would love to see some snow but I am guessing it is not so great to live with it>

beautiful snow covered tree.

Beautiful shot Rick. I love the bokeh. You make winter look good.
February 23rd, 2011  
At least the snow won't last too long for you. It is unusual how much it warmed up.
February 23rd, 2011  
Lovely capture!
February 23rd, 2011  
It is beautiful, but somehow, I appreciate it more in December than in February (or March... or April...!).

Really beautiful winter shot. We are in the same boat here....totally springlike on Friday and flash-freeze on Saturday. Today started out at -25 and ended up at -1 ! Go figure! I am ready for spring weather!
February 23rd, 2011  
True. Snow makes everything look better and more magical, fresh even. Also true, very ready for some greenery. Beautiful photo, as always. :)
February 23rd, 2011  
Great shot Rick. Now get rid of the snow before I get home tomorrow.
February 23rd, 2011  
I always love when the trees look like this too! Love the light in this shot too!
February 23rd, 2011  
Great capture!
February 23rd, 2011  
Amazing that you can make snow in the tree this great. Lovely composition and as mentioned previously nice bokeh.
February 23rd, 2011  
This is such a pretty photo, Rick. Great capture on your part! Wonderful DOF.
February 23rd, 2011  
My sympathy for the snow, but it does make for a pretty picture.
February 23rd, 2011  
Great shot, so sorry you had snow again. It's time for spring.
February 23rd, 2011  
Love the dramatic contrast of texture and color between the tree and its covering of snow. I'm with you; appreciate the beauty. Ready for Spring.
February 23rd, 2011  
Lovely picture! I always like how you frame them, too. I haven't put a picture up yet today (well, the 22nd) so I may just have to go with more snow pictures.....no shortage of those! Well, I will remember this year for the snow, that's for sure.
February 23rd, 2011  
I understand. Really. I do!
:)
February 23rd, 2011  
I feel you Rick!
February 23rd, 2011  
Beautiful. Spring will come :-)
February 23rd, 2011  
Fantastic shot. Love this alot. We are getting snow tonight too...Ugh. This is a fav Rick. Well done.
February 23rd, 2011  
Nice photo. Damn those false hopes. While you are hoping for the warmer weather, I'm wishing ours to stay. I'm not ready for Autumn and most definitely NOT ready for Winter. I need to move where it's Summer all year round!!
February 23rd, 2011  
Great shot, clean and crisp in all senses
February 23rd, 2011  
Wonderful..
February 23rd, 2011  
Absolutely beautiful shot.
February 23rd, 2011  
Cold, gray, snowy days need to go away. I am ready for Spring!
February 23rd, 2011  
snow covered trees are so pretty. nice shot.
February 23rd, 2011  
beautiful photo and well put. . . we are searching for any signs of spring we can find here in MA. I have a question if you don't mind. . . what lens do you use? I was looking through your pictures and they are all amazing, I was clicking into the EXIF to try and figure it out (I just worked some extra spending $$ into the budget and I am on the look for a new lens :) )
February 23rd, 2011  
simple and stunning. well done!
February 23rd, 2011  
Well, what can we do? The mother nature it is what it is!
The photo is beautiful!

A picture truly is worth 1000 words ~ this shot pretty much sums it up.

It is with sadness that I write this message. Due to one or more misinformed, spiteful, immature individual(s), I will no longer be posting (and will be deleting) photos on my account. Profiles are being created on this site and the person(s) responsible continue(s) to post unkind, thoughtless, ridiculous comments directed toward me on a personal level. I will never understand the mindset of people who choose to behave this way, especially those who will believe/create/say things about a person they do not even know. I apologize for posting this on your photo comments, but I could think of no other way to get a message to my ‘followers’. Posting a new photo for the day with this information would not work, since one of the fake profiles is actually still ‘following’ me. I just wanted to say I am thankful for all I have learned on this site from so many. Thank you for your comments, suggestions and support. I am glad for the opportunity to have gotten to ‘know you’ through your photos and words. What a great bunch of people in this community! This experience has been an honor and a pleasure. ~God bless you, Kris

Very pretty picture
February 23rd, 2011  
Getting tired of the snow too, but, as in this photo, it does give opportunity for some beautiful shots.
February 23rd, 2011  
Gorgeous shot....fabulous bokeh Rick! We're going throught the same temperature swings....mid 50's last week to 20's and a little snow. I'm so ready for spring!
February 24th, 2011  
Nice framing. I love the shot.
February 24th, 2011

Wonderful composition - sunny days are coming, so just be patient.
February 25th, 2011  
Lovely photo
February 25th, 2011  
Yeah, I like the snow on the trees too. This is a great shot, just say goodbye to winter, cause spring is on it's way. :-)
February 25th, 2011  
I so need to learn how to get that bokeh effect. Beautiful picture.

Rick, I like how you captured the light up on the top right corner. Tree photos are one my favorite. There is promise that Winter is almost over. :)
