Winter in My Backyard 2

Another shot from my walk around the backyard in search of things that depict winter. This is looking past our yard and into the woods behind us.

Nice tonality

How wonderful to have the woods so close, is that a bit of snow I see?

[aikimomm (phoebe)]

Definitely a dark wintry scene. Love the big rock.

Your processing makes the image look very spooky

I really expected to see more snow. The photo does convey a great sense of winter though.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Lovely shot. It looks like that here, too.

[Kathy]

It does look dark and dreary and slightly out of focus.

[Pyrrhula]

A beautiful and lovely backyard you`ve.

Thank you for all your views, comments and favs- each and every one is appreciated!

Yes, there was a lot more snow initially but most has melted. The patches you see were thicker and probably don't get as much sun so they are taking longer to melt.

@randystreat Hemmed and hawed about making this sharp or soft. Decided on the soft focus because I liked the feeling it conveyed more than the sharper focus. But looking at it today, I don't like the soft focus after all and will probably work on this one again!
