The drought has mellowed out winter. It has been cold but no icy blasts so far. The cold does not bother me much. Get the parka out n flannel/wool shirts and I shall venture forth.
It also makes a nice time to capture a few pixels. The trees are barren, the weeds are shuttered and the grasses dormant. It is when nature goes for a nap getting ready for spring.
I like the abstract pattern of the trees, the limbs, branches and their twists and turns. It is amazing the patterns a tree has under all those leaves. Oh yes fall colors are great but I like the nude tree also.
Then there are the sunsets of winter. Biting icy fingers crawl over the face, standing facing the setting sun. Sunsets are a dime a dozen but the hand of man makes it different.
It is amazing how we clutter up the country side with technology. A cellphone tower sits in the middle of somewhere. High power utility towers race over the horizon. Interrupted by a tree. On far horizon is the shallow outline of the Rocky Mountain foothills.
All the latest gadgets. Surrounded in our homes, our cars and in the office.
To truly escape technology is almost impossible. An escape in the mind;s eye.
Have a good week and may the Lord bless your travails.

We had s front pass over us on its way to Wyoming. I thought we'd be left high and dry but we did get a bit of snow that is so beautiful without the cold. I do mind cold. Time in the tropics has forever ruined my love of that but snow can admittedly be wonderful to look at.
GORGEOUS shots, John. And as you do many times, you wrote some of the things I think as well..especially about technology marring the beautiful tapestry Nature (GOD) provides.
Wonderful captures and words to describe the beauty and more that can be found.
