I really am in love with this Wintery photo that I took in February of this year. In the last few months of last year and in the beginning of this year I have seen more snow fall than I ever have before in my mere short lifetime. As I trudged through the snowfall of the second month of 2010, camera in hand, I walked our 10 acres of land hoping to get a shot that encompassed what Winter was, felt like and looked like through my eyes, and I think I had found the shot I was dreaming about and had pictured all along! *photo seen above*

To me this photo embodies the cold dead bleak mid-winter look and feeling of Winter that is so under appreciated it seems, at least to me it seems as such, but this shot turns this glimpse  into Winter as something that is simply full of beauty and magic...that should be seen and had within the Winter season...and somehow intertwines the two together. Ah the beautiful magic of Winter! 

 I absolutely love Olivia's blog  (Horsefeathers) and when I saw that she was having this lovely Words For Snow: A Wintery Art Contest I just knew that I had to enter in and participate. To enter into Olivia's contest, alongside myself, find the blog button on my sidebar and click on it. There is a pretty wonderful gift if you do so happen to win her contest too! Thanks for putting on this lovely contest, Olivia! 

I think I am in love with this photo, and with Winter...
