Monochrome Winter
Mohawk River Trail
No real objective today.
Not positive where I want to go with this post.
I wanted to post an image today, but I haven’t had the opportunity to go out after work to capture anything new. So I’m left with looking through the images from the past few weeks. There’s not a lot you haven’t already seen.
This image reminded me of my friend Karma’s post, Icy Beauty, although it is nowhere as sparkly as her images. It is similar in that it is from my go-to walking trail. Seeing it brought me back to that afternoon in between the snowfall, listening to the river gurgling past as I picked my way along the path in search of winter scenes.
I need another one of those afternoons.

I’ve been yearning for a walk in the woods too. But it’s soooo coooold! (Whine, whine!) The trees are absolutely stunning here right now. The snow and ice we had over the weekend is still stuck to the NE side of all the trunks and branches. We had a bit of sunshine yesterday and I should have gone out then to find something fun, but I had too many commitments. Today it’s snowing again, just normal falling down snow, not the sideways wind pushed snow we had. It’s also warmer, so I’m hoping Penny and I get to play in the yard at least a little. She’s gone bonkers being trapped in the house for days at a time. Me too.
I love your image. Isn’t it cool how we remember what we heard and saw and smelled and felt when we look at an image taken in the past?
I always hope that my images can invoke the same feelings in other sthat I get but I realize that isn’t possible. There will be a part of the image that is only mine and if I’m lucky everyone else finds something in the image to connect with…
This looks like my yard over the last week.
Thanks for the link Mike! It will probably be a few days before I can get out for fresh images either. I find gray skies uninspiring and that’s all we’ve had lately. Your image evokes that lovely quiet of the freshly fallen snow.
Cold, cloudy days in the forecast out this way. I’m crossing my fingers it will improve before the weekend is over…
Hi Mike, This landscape is a beauty and works so well in monochrome. I love snowy images – maybe since I rarely see snow these days! 🙂
Thanks Jane. Surprisingly, we are not seeing much here in Upstate NY. It is a weird winter so far.
This is so beautiful!
Thanks!
