What does a person do on New Year's Day when it is cold and windy outside and warm and toasty inside the house? I decided to upload a few pictures of winter scenes that I recently took. There is nothing exceptional about the pictures, except that they show some of the beauty of winter. There are 2 sets of each of the 3 pictures. One set is in full color and one set is in Black and White. Winter time lends itself to black and white photography because of the contrast the white snow has against background. I haven't taken a lot of pictures this winter and several of the ones I took I also deleted because they simply had little character to them. I am still looking for the ideal place to take photos in the winter where I can also take pictures of wildlife. If you know of such a place, please let me know. Meanwhile enjoy the pictures and enjoy the winter weather.
