Warm & Cool

December 18th, 2017

In the winter, the sun is at such a low angle all day, the light is always warm and golden. This always is such a difference from the cool blue of the snow and ice that dominates the landscape. When we have freezing rain and ice builds up on everything, it makes for a stunning show.








Days like this always get me to grab my camera and head outside, even despite the cold. This day was really cold, with the wind chill in the negatives. I thought about heading back to the main garden to take photos there, but ended up deciding the ones I got were good enough.

What’s one of your favorite things about how the light changes throughout the year?

    I love how you captured the light and it looks like sequins are thrown around in the shot :)

    I love that the days are opposite of summer. A bright, sunny winter day means it wil! be very cold while a cloudy day means more warmth.

    I love to see where the sun rises in the summer verses the winter and where it will set. We have been waking up to gloomy, foggy weather with the trees a breathtaking frost covered display. One look of winter but not the only for I also love the inches of snow that landed while we were slumbering and the weighted down, heavy branches. My heart forever lives in the season I am in.
