From January 2010


Just a few shots from a winter drive


It always pays to zoom in a bit...the top photo is what I found when I zoomed in on this barn.


The wind was busy that day....I can almost feel it just looking at the snow being blown about here.


I think these are beech leaves...someone told me when the tree is young for some reason their leaves cling through winter.


How about an orchard at rest....this photo just does not do it justice...but you get the idea.  It is a huge orchard by Indiana standards.

These are wonderful! This drive would have made me really happy! My favorites are the silent orchard...I look at it and see silence, the silence of snow with no birds or anything. And the snowblown road. WOW, just love these.

I like the picture of the "orchard at rest". So still and peaceful.

After seeing those maybe I'll appreciate the mad mix of weather we call summer on these islands a little more. Somehow I quite forget about winter at this time of year. The weathered look of that old barn really appeals to me as does the resting orchard.

Love them all...and yes, beech. A very coomon winter sight her are the beech hedges which stay amber throughout the grey(est) season. YAM xx

Fun to see the details on the barn. The snow blowing makes me feel so cold. We've had beech trees before and on a windy night in winter, you can hear those leaves "rattling." Have a nice start to the week.

i love dead trees, so the orchard is my favorite, the smiley face is second. such a beautiful barn, and can't see anything on it until you zoom

I love barns. Looks like that one is a happy one with that smiley face.
Sure does look cold there. I hate the thought that it won't be long before it starts looking like that around here again.

Looks cold that day. I like that old barn with the smiley face. Neat shot of the leaves still hanging on.

Hello,

I like the cute smiley face on the first barn. The orchard looks pretty in the snow. Enjoy your day, have a happy new week!

Beautiful winterscapes with the snow that illustrates the wind blowing! The orchards look so tranquil and the dense network of branches stand out nicely against the snow,

The bits of snow and even blowing snow, help to cool me down just a little.

The snow always makes things look different. It is like icing on the cake and really livens up winter. I love the barn!

I really appreciate your winter photos today, Rose, as we've been having pretty hot days. That third photo is very cool.
