The Winds After The Snow by lesip

The Winds After The Snow

What a difference a day makes. The precipitation has ended for now but the winds are howling and the birds and squirrels are no where to be found. My backyard windmill ornament is spinning away so I go grab my camera not knowing if I will head out today. I did go out later in the afternoon and dropped by Blackhills to check on the feeders. Got a few nice shots but I'll stick with this one. Thankfully I can always count on some kind of picture from my backyard.

Will drop the Blackhills shot in my extras album
Two days and a leap to go.....
thanks for stopping by..........
It looks like a painting - very nicely composed and finished!

thanks gals the first shot I way overexposed (I didn't look at what the camera setting were) and really liked the way it looked so adjusted a little and it practically gives me this look. A little processing but not much.

That darn wind that comes after a snow storm. The blur of the windmill captures it perfectly.
