Three beautiful images Larry, I especially favor the Bear Creek Park image with its nice composition and color. The foggy Oregon coastal image is another great image you’ve shared—very nice!

Winter in the Pacific NW happily only has occasional snow and ice but it can be fun to get out to shoot it when we do.

Ice at Shepherd's Dell:

Alan, beautiful wintry images all, I especially like the Shepherd’s Dell image—ice is nice! I also love the sunset image and the framing of the Mt. St. Helens image as well.

When it snows in Sedona, we get all kinds of opportunities to capture beautiful images. Here are a few.

Doug, beautiful images all—I especially love the Sedona Snowstorm and the Bell Rock/Courthouse images, very nice. The freezing rain accompanied by snowfall created a noteworthy scene definitely worth capturing in your last image—very nice.

Jameel, beautiful images you’ve shared for this task. The Mt. Shuksan image is a perfect capture of a majestic landscape—gorgeous. My favorite is your drone capture of your neighborhood—love the snowy path disappearing into the trees and distant mountains beyond—very nice! And speaking of neighborhoods: thank you for including this charming example of a well-decorated holiday home.

Here are a couple from Emerald Lake that invoke this season in my mind...

1) The famous cabin at Emerald Lake

2) And the trees with lights on the road leading to the cabin

Kyle, two perfect images for this seasonal task. Love them both for great composition, beautiful color, and perfect atmosphere. The first is my favorite image for all the reasons listed above…times two!

Dan, thank you for sharing these beautiful seasonal scenes. My favorites are perhaps the first image of a snowy woodland with its reflection in the stream leading the eye into this perfect capture, as well as your fifth image of two snow covered trees, bare branches, with a few brown leaves yet to fall which contrasts nicely with the overall blue mood—very, very nice.

Here are a few winter scenes. The hard part anymore is getting snow, and finding no footprints...

Craig, love each and every image. It’s nice to see these familiar landscapes enhanced by snow! Favorites: “Dusted” (nice composition and light shadows), “Morning Surprise” (nice blue snow shadows with the red rock), “Desert Life”, and “Christmas” (love all that snow), and the light captured in ”Succumbing to Nightfall” is beautiful with the warm and cool color contrast—very nice.
