The outside late December temperature in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in SW Virginia was in the 60’s F when I made these photos as the sun was lowering on the horizon. What was special for me was the calm surface of Philpott Lake which made for great reflections.
Sharing My Joy 
I like the light in the winter it seems softer. Nice coloring and I like the reflection
A beautiful day. Thankful for it.
