What a difference a couple of months make

With the exteam chances we go though from season to season hear in Maine I like to visit certain places to see the changes from season to season. The first shot was taken this fall at the retaining dam for Pitcher Pond, and I recently returned after a snow storm. C&C welcome thanks for looking.

    Very nice! The Fall picture is beautiful, but Winter also has a beauty all ot it's own.

    Thanks for sharing these, Ron

    Yippee!!! Winter in Maine, with snow!! I'm going up to visit my brother next month (Richmond ME) and I can't wait. I've been itchin' to take some winter pics, and you've inspired me. These are lovely--but it's hard to beat that fall shot. Nice captures.

    Thanks for the comments I like #1 the best also, a word of caution about shooting around water in the winter. The day I took the winter shots I also strapped on my snowshoes to hike out the cove to the rest of the lake and I got this shot...

    Knowing that there is moving water I stayed far away from the dam and near to the shore as I rounded this cove. When I got the the passage to the larger portion of the the lake I found soft ice so I cut across a point and found that patch of oper water. When I took this shot I originally thought I was still on land... then I noticed that when I moved ripples came out from the side of the ice. Be careful when you head out onto the ice most lake have moving water in places that will result in thin ice.

    #1 is pretty cool. #3 is almost #1 two months later, but the camera is pointed down more...which prevents us from seeing what happened to the trees in the background. Might have made the contrast between those shots more dramatic.

    Glad you didn't fall through!
