A “dusting” of snow on the ground and an ivy- covered tree trunk made for a nice photo composition.A tall evergreen tree backed by a dramatic sky made me realize how much beauty is around us every day, no matter the cold winter weather.
I was standing in our backyard when I made this photo. It’s nice not to have to travel (even if I could) to capture sunsets like this.I moved slightly from where I was standing when I made the first photo and saw another beautiful view. It was a nice way to begin a new year.
While walking in a wooded area I came to this deteriorated, moss covered log. I noted small mushrooms attached and focused closer.This little mushroom looked nice, but the one below was my favorite.Nature always makes me smile when I discover its treasures with my camera.
These oak leaves are a perfect sign of the season and soon will fall to the ground as colder weather arrives.When I saw this lone tree stump in a grassy field I wondered when it was cut down, and why. Whatever, it made a nice photo subject.
