Photographers are always on the lookout for repeating patterns to photograph. An interesting quote on the topic written by David Peterson is: “Patterns are to photography, what rhythm is to music. Repeating patterns, if captured the right way, strengthen an image. Ten pillars on a porch, a hundred umbrellas on the beach, a thousand bricks on a wall and a million petals on a field… repetition takes on a life of its own.” I think I hit the jackpot with patterns in this image!

…in a one horse open sleigh…o’er the fields we go…laughing all the way! This scene in Lancaster County, Pa. was Christmas card worthy! While I expect to see a horse and buggy as I am traveling through the countryside, I was thrilled with the unexpected surprise of seeing a horse-drawn sleigh on a winter afternoon! I added a painting effect to the photo with Topaz Impression.

When I left for work this morning it was 5 degrees Fahrenheit outside. By the time I arrived, it had dropped to 1 degree Fahrenheit. Brrrrr! Tonight we are expecting 1″ to 3″ of snow. I need to escape to a warm, sunny beach and feel the sand between my toes. Revisiting my summer beach photos is just what I need to tide me over until “real” beach weather arrives! “tide” me over….get it? Just a little beach humor to help with the winter time blues!
