Anticipation

By

   

After all the holiday rush, January is always a let down for me.  The days are short, the air is too cool and everything seems drab and colorless.  Wanting spring and all it’s glory to be here now, I find myself searching out color anywhere I can, be it the finches that populate my bare tree or the many spring seed catalogs that arrive in my mailbox on a daily basis.  My anticipation of the new season is palpable and I find it difficult to wait for the colors of spring.

What about you? Are you a spring or winter person? Please make my winter a little bit brighter and share with us your seasonal shots, too.

  9. I am definitely a summer person. But the other day, on a blustery walk, I realized how lovely the holidays were and how I'm really glad that the hustle and bustle is over! It felt relaxing to stroll along in the slushy snow and not think about shopping or wrapping or parties – and just think about capturing the golden early-afternoon light. Perhaps I'm learning to appreciate Mother Nature in all her moods. Of course, I may feel differently shoveling out from 12 inches tomorrow…

  37. I miss the colors of spring and summer and autumn. I love the warm seasons. The winter shows no abundance of color, the winter is rather monochrome. And sometimes it helps to reduce the view of the little small things.
    But when the sun shines in winter and the sky is beautiful blue and white of the snow, then so are the many, many colors that you like.
    We have taken a short vacation in the Alps and had the good fortune to the winter at its best experience.

  40. i'm an 'every season' person. i really do like every season for the different beauty that can be found in each. here in the south snow is rare, so when it does comes along i find it very beautiful – the clean white, the blue shadows, the red cardinals pop in the evergreens, the beech leaves bring color that on an ordinary winter day may seem drab

  42. Feeling a little overwhelmed with life, and for whatever reason, this photo made my day a little brighter. Thank you.
