Landscape Frosted Trees

[Brownie]

Woke up to make coffee and take care of the dog, and looked outside. Time to put some effort in. Caught some excellent light!

Nice shots Tim. I really like the first one.

 

[alexpler]

Lovely shots. My favourite is number 2: there was a superb light then.

 

[Thad E Ginathom]

Wow, super shots, super light!

That frost would have sent me scuttling back to my warm bed.

They make me want to go for a walk.

They make me want to go for a walk.

Steady on Ian it has taken Tim 2 years to get around to having a walk so I think you need to consider this for a while first

 

[Brownie]

It was admittedly a tough decision. Hot coffee, the news, and dog time, or walk around outside in 27 degrees. I compromised and took the hot coffee with me!

My fingers got pretty cold. I need to find my old hunting mittens that flip open to expose fingertips.

 

[GeffBourke]

Lovely shots.

I would like to take those kind of shots but I cannot, since I don't have a dog to wake me up early in the morning. If that would be the only problem.

I still work and find myself up at the regular time most mornings. Dead of winter will see me sleep a bit later. Right now our sunrise is about 7:40 a.m., so plenty of time to get up and out. It's mostly about braving the cold!

Here's another one from the set. This was just before I made the bend in the trail and took the second shot above. You can see the light from the sun filtering through. I wish I had returned to the spot and make several more as the sun came up, I'll bet there was a point where it wasn't too much or too little. Probably spectacular, and I blew it!
