Sparse colour

In February, black and tones of white, grey, and brown dominate the palette. It becomes necessary to look deeply and far for colour. This barn and shed well off the road added some welcome reds to the scene.

Hues

Amazingly delicate hues highlight an evening sky.

Dull?

This season’s colours are muted. The sky is often cloudy, blue-grey for days at a time. Fields are shades of tan, brown, dun. Dull? Perhaps, to some sensibilities. My sensitivity to shades and grades of colour is heightened, sharpened. I try to appreciate these muted scenes for their own beauty.

A riot

Breathtaking colour and form awaited me this crisp, glorious morning. I am so thankful to see such beauty, and to be able to share it with you.

Glowing

Glowing

Overexposed, yes. Yet the colour richness of the green iris leaves, the colour and the angularity of the red planter, and (look closely) the way a scent pulled Stella’s nose pulled to the right all made for a keeper of a photo.

Splash of colour

These gaillardia grace our property. Although the minimalist shades and colours of winter have their own beauty, sometimes it’s good to add a splash of colour to your life.

Sunrise, December 16

Winter sunrises are so beautiful. The starkness of the snow, the muted colours of the landscape, seem to force me to more deeply see and appreciate the colours of the sunrise and the sky. I love sunrises during this time of year.
