It’s interesting to me how these captures feel monochromatic to me, and I say that in the most complimentary of ways. Because it means you culled the resonance of winter life, after which BOOM! that red just pulls us back from the immersion. That’s an amazing gift, and you have it in spades.
Plus I am feeling Fargo on top of all that. Win meeting win!
They are (and I take that as you meant it), really with that red coming front and forward.
I had chosen the “Fargo” route at first, then arrived at my farming pics and remembered that I had in mind to use them as a WW theme… but I liked the first shot and decided to share it anyway 😉
Thank you, for your always lovely interpretations and praise!
I like how the first one resembles a Currier and Ives, and how the others look as if you moved into soon to be warmer climes.
I agree with you pal, you do have a gift but not just pulling focus, as they say in movie parlance. Your eye is your true gift…how you see things that others may not, being so willing to share them. 🙂
It’s rather funny. I prepared the first one with the intention of going that route until I hit on the red of the wood cutter & bin and remembered that, when I took them, I was planning on using them for WW. But since I stamped the first one, what the hell? Why not include it 🙂
Thank you for you always kind words, Susannah. Sometimes, I wonder if the subject is right and you almost always let me know it is!
Took 218 photos with my camera today, plus 44 with my phone… (I think it’s my sickness 😉 ) during my walk… Surely more snowy pictures coming next week because it is far from gone, here!
Thank you. I set up the first pic then fell onto the splitter and remembered that I photographed that the the piles with the intention of using them for WW… But I still wanted the first one. 😂
Thank you, my friend!
You know, I never thought of running there (because I have to drive to get there or make my outing really long!)
But this country road, as we called it, had so many more trees and even a treehouse in one, and we could hang out for hours, my friends and I. Now? It’s almost all gone.
Greetings from the Thursday side of Wednesday. I was on the road all-day yesterday. Now that’s a log splitter! … and I’m thinking it is preparing for next winter!
