WOW! How I would love that view from my backdoor! (..certainly won't happen -- especially because I live in SE Texas!)

I love the blue sky, the building with the cupola, and the rest of the snow-covered foliage/trees.

However, this pine should really not be placed exactly in the middle of the frame. ...better to put your boots on -- and step a few feet to the left or right --- for more interest!

It can start as early as October but it just depends on the year! Last year was a hard long cold snowy winter! Luckily it can be very beautiful too=)
Thanks so much for the very nice rating and review!

A very lovely view for sure a great Christmas card but for that you got to change your eternal block border into a green one- your place is nice and calm and your way you placed this tree in your frame is well defined letting the other trees fill in - I love the n ice look on the house just like a free space -
you timing is perfect for this shot as nobody crossed yet and the snow is intact and fresh giving you this special winter wonder land , great job, thanks for sharing

As soon as this came up on the review panel I thought "Ha, Christmas in July". I agree, I think this would make a fine family Christmas card. I like the blue sky hovering above the cold scenery. Nice Shooting. Kathy
