I could use a little of this coolness right now. Mid 90s for the 4th day. Nice shot well captured. Good shadows to create interest. Whites are handled well. Good color through out. Well seen.

    That's just a lovely review dear John ....and you have described the changing season so perfectly. Just knew YOU would see the cathedral-like quality of the trees. So thank you for having a look at my new 'cool' post and for being so generous w/ your words and rating. I really do appreciate it very much.

    Glad you could see it too Neil.....actually, I'm not surprised YOU did. That artistic eye naturally sees more than just a bunch of trees. Thank you so much for having a look....and for your really lovely review. Do definitely appreciate it.

A very nice scene. It does not look like fresh snow but it is untracked and pristine. Great detail in the trees and beautiful colors in this welcome scene on a sweltering July evening.

    It wasn't fresh snow MM but unless Comanche and I are out and about it all remains pristine until either we or the 'neighbors' put tracks down. Thank you so much for having a look and hope i helped your sweltering evening as well.

Oh Deborah this is so refreshing to see during this terrible heat wave we are having now. It has a cooling effect that I would welcome right about now. A gorgeous snow scene that I am thoroughly enjoying viewing since my AC decided to take a dump yesterday. This really is a great shot that is so great to see for me right now.

Comment from Linda Wetzel


It has been so hot and humid here in South Florida that I just want to walk into this scene with my coat off and cool down. The blue shadows cast on the white snow create such a pleasantly cool scene that my mind wanders right in. I love the cleat sky in the background and the snow laden branches on the tree limbs.

A very nice looking winter scene posted here! Your lovely and traditional composition grants us a very enjoyable look at your location. Sharpness and exposure are fine. Nice work!

Nice on BB. This so reminds me the Smokies in winter. Bare trees, soft power snow and one can almost "Hear the Silence" . Nice view that draws the eye to the distance. Well done BB ~ BB
