Thanks for all the comments on the post of my first-ever photo, they were fun to read. And happy Thanksgiving to my American readers, and to anyone else who celebrates the holiday. I'm very thankful for my wonderful family and friends, my health, and my job, and too many other things to mention here. Anyway, here's a typical local scene for this time of year (taken in my yard, as are many of my Skywatch Friday shots), ice on the trees but beautiful blue skies overhead.
For more skies ranging from icy to tropical visit the great Skywatch Friday meme.
So beautiful photos!! With the lovely snow and the special good light..
ReplyDeleteWe don't celabrate the Thanksgiving here.. But I wish you a good Thanksgiving! :)
Superb as always, Al!! And I always look forward to your photos! You have a great eye for marvelous composition! We have the snow, but not the blue skies! Wishing you and your family a wonderful, joyous Thanksgiving!

Looks crisp and cold. I really like how the light shines through the ice/frost/snow on the trees. That blue makes a great backdrop.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Snow in Blighty too :-)

Wow hermosa la nieve, en Monterrey solo he visto la nieve una sola vez y muy poca, es linda foto.
ReplyDeleteNo he pasado por aqui porque he tenido trabajo, pero me puse a ver las fotos atrasadas y esa primera foto tuya pues no esta nada mal, ahora entiendo porque las de ahora son perfectas, me encanto la de la puesta del solo, y la entrada a la cueva me hacen sentir como si estuviera ahi.

That the scene is of overall whiteness yet the frost on each twig is made up from millions of beautiful shapes - I know it - but I'm taken aback every time I see it.
