The winter landscape is filled with texture and, as in this image, the contrast of both warm and cool colors. The orange plants in the foreground are what caught my eye in this scene and really make the image pop.

They all got the message from the tower …. wing flaps down and prepare to land! (Snow Geese migration at Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area – 2017)

Winter is my favorite time of year to photograph landscapes. To me, there is so much more interest in being able to see the shapes of the trunks and branches of leafless trees, the dried flowers and grasses, and the subtle colors. This scene is a nearby wildlife sanctuary which is a great spot for bird watching … and photography!

In our neck of the woods, January is the coldest and most dreary month of the year. Still, there is plenty of color to be found. Oak trees are usually the very last to lose their leaves, some clinging to the trees throughout the winter adding interest to the otherwise dull landscape. In Spring, when the Oaks start to bud, the last of the previous year’s leaves will fall, leaving those of us with this mighty tree in our yard yet another opportunity for raking. Hooray!
