Cloudy days, cold temperatures, howling winds, snow and ice, it is winter. Winter is the season of a monochrome landscape. A lovely season for monochrome photography. While some find the gray dreary days difficult, I choose to find the beauty of the landscape. So far it has been a mild winter in Southeast Iowa, at least in my opinion and some would certainly not agree. To recharge, a walk in the woods listening to the open water in the creek flowing, the crunching of snow under my feet, finding beauty. Winter is the opportunity to work on my monochrome photography and embrace the season.

Very pretty natural scene. Looks good in B&W.
Thank you!
Love the winter stream in black and white. I feel the cold!
Thank you Nancy, it was rather cold that day. This week is cold, but no snow, although we are getting flurries today.
Definitely not seeing you in my reader STILL! I wonder why? 😦
The reader is so hit and miss. I started adding a tag that hasn’t been used before as you suggested, but I guess that isn’t helping. 🙁
When did you add it? I haven’t checked the entire stream today.
