Snowy Trees in a Winter Landscape

Framed photo of snowy cottonwoods line a creek at the bottom of the towering western mesa pointing to a water source and creating layers of subtle color.
My boots crunched as I walked the dogs in the frigid morning air. Their breath puffed out in jets of steam as they charged ahead. The fresh snow outlined everything in lacy sparkling white. I had to pause and soak it in, the cold forgotten. I am the "Winter Girl." The cottonwoods on the valley floor remind me of old oil paintings of the romanticism period, with pastural meadows and large trees. It would have looked the same to a passerby one hundred years ago. My contemplations are abruptly ended by dog noses nudging me forward. It is time to continue our walk.

The western landscape turns a subtle shade of blue under the intense azure winter sky and highlights the stark row of cottonwood trees.

  1. Hi Julie!
    I just love that top picture! The snowy trees against the red rock is gorgeous! We just got our first snow yesterday! Only @ 5 inches, but more than most people in NJ!

    Happy Holiday Season!

  5. These make me feel cold just looking at them. On a hot day they could be pleasant to look at and on a cold day like today it just makes me appriciate my hot cup of green tea even more.

    Nice photos as always.
