Happy New Year!! \u00a0Can you believe it’s 2018?!? \u00a0Time is certainly flying!<\/p>\n

This month’s theme is Winter Light. \u00a0Here in the Midwest, winter can be pretty drab. \u00a0There are no mountains to grace the landscape. \u00a0It’s a lot of flat land, and where I’m located, it is flat land that is barren from crops being harvested. \u00a0So when there is no snow on the ground, everything is brown and drab. \u00a0People think I’m crazy, but I LOVE the snow, and that is one of the reason’s why. \u00a0It’s transforms the landscape from drab brown to glistening white.<\/p>\n

One thing about the winter light is that the sun is not directly overhead. \u00a0It’s path across the sky is a bit lower, giving winter days a whole different feeling than summer days. \u00a0The shadows are long.<\/p>\n

When the sun is shining, the snow looks like it’s sprinkled with diamonds. \u00a0The skies are often beautiful blue creating a gorgeous contrast against the white snow.<\/p>\n

Because of the beautiful blue skies, the blue is reflected off of the snow and ice that is in the shade. \u00a0Here is a picture of the pond behind our house. \u00a0I just love the way the water froze in such a unique pattern. \u00a0The sun was very low in the sky so the pond was in the shade and everything was a beautiful blue hue.<\/p>\n

Then there is the glistening of the frost on the windows. How incredibly stunning!<\/p>\n

The sun was once again low in the sky, so the upper part of the background in this picture was in the sun and is warm tones and the lower part was in the shade so it fades into a light blue.<\/p>\n

Here is another shot. While the entire background of this one was in shade creating a beautiful blue hue throughout, I love how the facets of the frost picked up on the golden light of the setting sun. \u00a0It made a perfect highlight to the frost.<\/p>\n
