A Winter Walk

Neither rain, nor snow, nor hail or sleet will stop me from tromping about with my camera.

Everything looks so nice with a fresh coat of snow.

The Hawthorne trees really stand out in the snow

The Beech still has some leaves

It's odd to see this purplish color in winter but that is the actual color of the Japanese winter berries.

The ones nearest the ground are frozen solid

The Cypress trees still have some orange color

I found something green. It's a cold Magnolia.

I hope you enjoyed a look at winter in Ohio.

All photos taken by me December 2008 with Olympus FE-340.

A wonderful photo essay. I love to look at winter, but I'd rather have no part of it anymore. That's why I live in florida.

Thanks for stopping by to comment on my Drabble, The Traveler.

fabulous photos, Kay! I haven't been brave enough to go out and hike around in the snow- I tend to hibernate in the winter.

Mariana T. Dec 14, 2008, 10:01pm EST
Wow Kay, I totally enjoyed each of these shots - love the hawthorns and the purple Japanese winter berries - the cold magnolia, the orange cypress - totally gorgeous in contrast to the cold white snow - beautiful, powerful, bucolic shots and very pleasing to the eye. Thanks for venturing out in the cold to share your Ohio with us! Salud

To Whom It May concern seems a bit formal, so I'll just say to my Gather friends, Happy Holidays. I have had so many chores and things to do that it has been tough to find time to comment. I love to write and I try to set aside at minimum 2 hours a day just to write whatever. My thought is always of you, my audience. You are an inspiration and I try to be entertaining. I read all of your comments. I should respond more. I appreciate good or bad reviews. All I take as a positive. Please oh please give me 10 stars!!! My goodness, I feel like I'm in First grade. I could give a good squat about the stars. Well, it has become just impossible to reciprocate in a timely manner, so I'm just putting this in your comments as a way to say one word. Thanks.
May God bless.
I enjoyed our little walk, Kay. Thank you for bringing me along!
Lynn R. Dec 24, 2008, 4:47pm EST
That was a beautiful walk. I enjoyed it immensely. Thank you
