Snowy Sunrise

As I said yesterday, we had a fresh blanket of snow on Monday morning. There was a lovely glow in the sky and I decided to take a walk around the park so I could enjoy the sunrise. Come on along with me.

“Nothing is more beautiful than the loveliness of the woods before sunrise”
~George Washington Carver

One of my favourite trees towers over my local pond. It's been dead for as long as I've known it but I'm certain that it is home to a number of critters, and it's always a striking addition to the park's landscape. Just the day before this photo was taken, it had a limb which extended to the left. For whatever reason, it caught my attention and I tried focusing my camera on that limb, to photograph it from several different angles. None of the images turned out all that well, and I didn't keep them. Too bad, because just one day later, that limb was gone forever.

Here's how it looked in January from a somewhat different angle.

The golden sun painted a warm, pink hue over the freshly-fallen snow.

“Climb up on some hill at sunrise. Everybody needs perspective once in a while, and you'll find it there.” ~Robb Sagendorph

Streaks of gray-blue and gold created an appealing backdrop for this snow-coated tree.

“There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope.”
~Bern Williams

Across the pond, the sun was just beginning to bathe the day with its warm glow.

Time to head back home and shovel out that driveway. Thanks for joining me. I'll post a few more photos from this snowy morning on Thursday.

Snowy Fence and Posts of the Week

Monday morning brought a few inches of fresh snow. I liked the way it settled into the Vs of this chain link fence. It was early morning and I took a few more photos. I'll post some of those tomorrow.

And now, without further delay, here are the Posts of the Week. The icon below is yours for the taking if if your blog post is named as a Post of the Week - either as top post or as a runner up.
