Spring's Around The Curve

Went out again today, couldn't help it, I needed some more photos. It was cold, hardly any sun, but no snow. The water at the lake is beginning to freeze, but I hear by Monday or Tuesday temperatures will be up into the high 40's again. No complaints from this guy, but I wish it would make up its mind. We are approaching the end of January, so Spring is defiitely just around the corner, but we all know, we have have had some major snow storms in February and March, so I am not counting my chickens before they are hatched. Hope youall had a wonderful weekend.

An artist's dream! Wonderful! Reflections, depth, and natural colors make this perfect.

I like the colors and the curve of the shore. Yeah, it's hard to complain about this winter, but it does make the mind wonder what is ahead

[Jann]

I like the curve you used- the red tones of the brush against the white- really nice.

[Allison Williams]

Fabulous shot. For some reason it seems like an aerial shot taken from high above in a small plane.

[Sue]

[karenann]

Reminds me so much of our river here . . freezes and melts and re-freezes! Beautiful scene.

[Elaine]

Wonderful composition!! I am more than happy to experience the snow through your photos!

[Sharon]

Nice shot and I love the title.

[Laurie Higgins]

This is so, so beautiful, and I'm taking a lesson from you in composition. I visited two ponds today and none of my photos were even close to this one. Your focus on the shoreline, and then the reflections that show a bigger scene is like storytelling in a photo. Simply perfect, and a fave for me.

[Carolyn White]

Beautiful shot, Rick!

[Corey]

We have things sprouting around here but have yet to get any kind of winter. Sigh. Just a little would be nice.

[Kate Klinck]

[Karen Sylvia]

Nice curve to this and I like the little bit of color. Our temps are warming up as well.

[Jen Dee]

[Pat Knowles]

And a good job you went out & captured this wonderful photo ! A fave !!! Love that curve & those brown shrubs following the line of the bank !

[Christie Hicks]

Beautiful snowy scene. Catch it while you can, it's getting warm this week again. I wonder if the snow will last even a few days more?

[Birgit]

Love the curve of the water and the rusty colours contrasting the Black and white.

[Netkonnexion]

Wonderful scene. Love the contrast in the tufts of grass against the snow.

[Jane]

A gorgeous shot Rick. We are only just entering quite a cold snap. Only the lightest sprinkling of snow so far.... but maybe some next week if the cold snap persists.... I live in Warwickshire, UK :-))
