Thought it wasn’t too light out, I had to take some photos of the beautiful white trees after the night snow.
Further down the road, more beautiful trees.
After my morning coffee break I took this one.
A close up. Its so beautiful. Like Christmas!
There is nothing better than winter light. That wonderful contrast of the cold winter breeze and snow with the heavenly light is so glorious.
The best light-filled winter pictures I have are these next six from February of 2014. I remember that it was very cold, but beautiful.
These last five are from March of 2019 after a heavy snow.

Looking back at this day of 40 degree weather, bitter cold and snow was just a day away, and these Mallard ducks were enjoying their last days.
Soon the creek will be iced over.
Leaving the ducks, I headed up this familiar trail. It was supposed to be warm, but there was a cold wind from the northwest. Winter was coming.
Before long my pleasant walk was almost over. The days are short and sunlight will soon be gone.
This has been one of the best puzzle’s I’ve done–actually, not quite finished. So fun to do. I would like to get this whole collection of Vibrant puzzles. They are all 1000 pieces.
The creek is barely moving this time of year.
I sometimes take this shortcut on this small deer trail.
A common, lazy trail.
These days there are always bridges to evade any trouble. We are so protected–overprotected.
This old abandon WWII Army ammunition’s building has become somewhat of an art studio for young gang members, or maybe just a place for bored kids to practice their art craft.
This looks like it was quite a place in it’s day. This is one of several military buildings that were quickly built during WWII to manufacture ammunition’s needed. Since sometime in the 1960’s it has been abandon.
I wonder why they haven’t torn down this building yet. I walk by here often.
I’m sure this is just a weed, but in the fall it looks quite beautiful with its white fuzz and shiny golden stems.
Here’s a Monarch sharing space with a Bumblebee.
After walking on the narrow path along the river for a while, I decided to walk on this broad path–the way that leads to destruction, and there are many that go this way (Matthew 7:14).
It’s beautiful how the light reflects off this grass.
There is a place in this field where this type of grass grows so much taller. It ‘s a mystery to me why it grows so tall in this one particular area.
So beautiful how the setting sun lights up this bare tree.
