Then....and now. Winter's changes.

One of my favorite walks shown during full Fall colors on a misty morning.

The same scene during the grip of Winter. As the girl in shorts came by me, I kidded her about being Wonder Woman. I mean it was COLD that day.

    Howdy Tom,

    I have to say that is my Favorite image that you've posted.

    Looks cold and damp in the second one, I guess you can tell

    Winter and Cold Weather is not my Favorite Season :D:D:D
    Take care,

    Definitely get two different feelings when looking at these. First one has a much calmer feeling to it.

    Very nice duo, Tom. The reds have migrated from the leaves to the jacket. I like it.

    That fall shot is absolutely beautiful. And I feel your pain with the winter one. Not a fan of cold and damp :)

    I can see why that would be a favored walk. Nicely done! Doesn't look much like Florida, though! mwink.gif

    I have to agree with you, Craig. The Fall shot....and perhaps one other from the same series....is probably my favorite of all the shots I've ever taken. Kind of shows you what role luck can play in our photography....catching the right elements and terrific light at play at the same time.

    You and Karen stay warm and safe,

    Howdy Mary,

    I've never much thought about it but I think your observation is spot on. Winter scenes do, I think, project a tenseness that other season's pictures might be lacking.

    You and Santa stay warm up there,

    Yo Richard,

    Once again, you show an eye for detail and interpretation that few share with you. I, too, drew some parallel in the shift of red to the jacket. At the time I was taking the shot, I thought " how propitious " that her jacket is red.

    Be well, my friend,

    Hi Ceci,

    Thanks for the nice comment.

    I hadn't planned on taking this shot at this particular time.....but the idea of the comparative pictures was something I intended to do. When I saw the two hikers in the Winter scene coming along, and wanting a parallel to the two hikers in the Fall scene, I quickly ran to the car to get my camera. I wasn't really appropriately dressed to be outside for very long and I began to have visions of the local paper's headline the next day....." Crazy Florida Man Freezes To Death While Taking Winter Pictures In A T-Shirt ".

    Take care,

    Tom

    Hi David,

    What a pleasure to have you drop by.

    Well, I see I can't fool such a sharp-eyed devil as you.:D This site is Bass Lake, located on the stunning Moses Cone Estate, which is very close to Blowing Rock, NC. It's a little over one mile around the lake and I'm usually good for about 3 or 4 laps before I cry " uncle ".

    I appreciate your support,

    Tom

    Nice combination, Tom. I'm glad you pulled out that fall shot again--it's definitely one of my favorites of yours! :D
