Dawn on Iping Common revealed a hard frost. My hands were so cold I could hold the camera for only a few seconds at a time.
Why haven't they invented heated cameras????
Just another day in paradise.
Our mid-May snowstorm, here in central Alberta, seems to have gotten over itself, and has moved on.
Hopefully to Calgary. (grin) Just kidding, Lorien.
Now maybe my poor lilacs can unthaw, and finally bloom.
My lovely new azalea (I chose it because of it's lilac-colored blooms) is now dead, dead, dead. Ah...silly me. I planted it a week to soon.
The snow was falling so heavily yesterday, that I wanted to see if I could photograph falling snowflakes. I could, but since I wanted the lilac buds in focus, the snowflakes bokehed into these cottony blobs. (Okay, for those of the old school, DoF, wide aperture, and blurred background.) I just think the word, "bokeh," has such charm.
Blessings,
Sheree
Arriving home at Manor Farm in the Range Rover (what else?). A snow scene at the junction of Brambling Lane and Eastshaw Lane at Woolbeding near Midhurst.

"Paths are interesting, because they lead you somewhere that is already familiar, already traversed. We are very comfortable with this notion of familiarity. But who is responsible for forging that path originally? Every path must have its creator, therefore every creator must forge their own path."

He didn't seem to be the slightest bit bothered that I was there.

Thumper: Whatcha gonna call him?
Bambi's Mother: Well, I think I'll call him, "Bambi."
Thumper: Bambi... Yep, I guess that'll do all right.

Croton Point Park
The image shows a broad, snow-covered hillside under a clear, deep blue sky. The slope runs diagonally from lower left to upper right, creating a strong sense of incline and direction. Sparse winter grasses and low brush punctuate the snow, adding texture and subtle warm tones against the dominant whites and blues.
Near the center of the frame, a single human figure—small relative to the landscape—moves across the slope, likely walking or snowboarding.
The figure’s dark clothing provides a clear focal point and scale reference. There are faint tracks and wind-sculpted patterns in the snow, suggesting recent movement and cold, open conditions. The horizon line is minimal and clean, with a thin band of vegetation at the crest of the hill.
Assessment
Composition
The diagonal slope is the dominant compositional element and works well, creating tension and movement.
The figure is placed slightly below center, reinforcing isolation and scale rather than dominance.
Large areas of negative space (sky and snow) are used deliberately, emphasizing emptiness and exposure.
Use of Scale
The small human figure effectively conveys the vastness of the landscape.
This scale contrast is the image’s strongest narrative device.
Color and Tonality
Limited palette: blue sky, white snow, muted browns.
The strong blue sky contrasts cleanly with the snow without clipping or obvious color cast.
Subtle texture in the snow is preserved, indicating good exposure control.
Mood and Narrative
Conveys solitude, cold, and quiet.
The lone figure suggests endurance or contemplation rather than action or speed.
Reads as contemplative and minimalist rather than dramatic.
Light is likely mid-day or late morning: crisp, neutral, not overly dramatic but clean.
Overall
A restrained, minimalist landscape that uses scale, diagonal geometry, and limited color effectively. Its strength lies in quietness and spatial clarity rather than spectacle.
West Pond, Parsonsfield, Maine.
The last sunset for 2017.
Hope everyone had a wonderful and safe New Years eve, wishing the best for all in 2018.
Sorry I have not been on Flickr lately but the extreme cold we are having here has been causing problems with our internet service.
Temperatures have been running between -27°F below at night to around 15-20°F during the day,
This first day of the New Year started off at -17°F at 7:00 A.M. and got up to 20°F around 3:00 P.M. but it did not last long and dropped back down to 9°F right after sunset.
This is one of the coldest Decembers into the New Year that I can ever remember.
We are hoping for a slight warm up next week but until then more frigid cold is expected to continue.
A person, who values the beauty of nature and ambient the world, for richer and happier than those, who did not notices this.

It warmed up to 7F today so I decided to get out and take some pictures. Here a farmstead not far from our place in Northeast Kansas...the snow has really piled up in the last week or so and the below zero temps have kept it from melting. Captured with my Anniversary Speed Graphic camera on FFP's Mummy 400 film. Developed with HC110 Dilution B.

"Frosty Cherries - Square" by Patti Deters. This closeup of three red crab apple cherries shows the bright red fruit still hanging from tree stems, frozen solid and frosted with ice and snow. The hoar frost brings out the beauty of these little fruits, while the cold weather preserves them a bit for birds and other animals that eat the nutritious berries. Crabapple trees are generally known for their pretty spring blooms, but when covered in icy hoar frost, I think winter is when they are most beautiful.

Temps are falling around here. Time to dig your mittens out of the closet and pick up a warm mug of your favorite cold weather beverage.
