Snow Photography

I love to LOOK at snow. I think it’s absolutely beautiful. I like to make snow people or snow animals, make snow angels, have snowball fights.

Ever since we built our home here in Greenwood AR on top of a ridge line with a steep 650′ driveway on the north side of our property, my enthusiasm for winter – driving in it, getting up and down our driveway in one piece, and getting snowed or iced in up here, having to chainsaw our way down the driveway when we are older than dirt – has waned.

I am finding some wonderful photos of the beauty of the season though, from the photographers on X and Blue Sky. I wanted to share them with you.

These are SO good they almost make me forget I really don’t enjoy winter anymore!

Our Beautiful World

I feel as if I won the lottery, having joined Blue Sky Social and seeing all the talented photographers who are there. Every day I look forward to seeing new beauties from people I’m already following and discovering new photographers I haven’t had the pleasure of seeing before. What a gift!

Beautiful Photos from Blue Sky

Brian Venghous Photography -@fosdailys.bsky.social

One of the things I’ve noticed since I joined Blue Sky Social a few weeks ago is that the membership has many talented photographers from all over the world. Their photos simply take my breath away. I’ll try to share at least some of the beauty with you.

Fellsfjara Jokulsarlon Iceland – Sophie Carr – @sophiecarr.bsky.social

I can almost HEAR this photo! What a glorious sight!

Martin Rak – “Morning Painted with Light and Fog” -@martinrak.bsky.social

I feel very lucky to have found a place where the talent abounds.

Sly Old Foxes

I love the expertise shown in these photos, and the way they capture the personality of each fox.

The photos are beautiful, but they make me FEEL, too.

I melted into a puddle at this one.

Keith Boone Photography

“American Wigeons in Flight”

I joined Blue Sky Social about 3 weeks ago. There are many wonderful photographs on this site, but Keith Boone’s work is special. Each time I come across a post of his, I have to stop, admire, then force myself to close my mouth. :0)

“Coal Harbour-Vancouver”

I think this panorama is breathtaking.

“Saxe Point Park-Esquimalt”

And I want to spend time here.

Photography of Bryn Perrett

I joined BlueSky Social a couple of weeks ago, and I’ve found some very talented people there. As you know, I love to share things I find wonderful with you. Today I want to share some of the photography of Bryn Perrett.

I’m not only in awe of his obvious talent. He is a generous person, as well, giving time in his posts to other people in his field, sharing their photos with his followers.

He lives in Norway, and I’m loving his sharing of beautiful places there.

I look forward to his posts. I hope you’ll check him out.

Christoph Fischer Photography

Christoph Fischer – “Orphaned cheetah eyes a piece of meat its Nambian caretaker is about to feed it.”
Christoph Fischer – “Patagonia is the epitome of wilderness untamed.”
Christoph Fischer – “Soft afternoon light silhouettes an elephant’s beautifully textured face in Namibia’s Etosha National Park.”
Christoph Fischer

Christoph Fischer is an award-winning photographer who offers photo tours and an awe-inspiring portfolio of his work. His book, The Art of Nature Photography – Using Visual Thinking for a Powerful Expression of Your Vision – can be purchased. All of this is through his website, Beauty Surrounds You.

Besides being talented, Christoph is a really nice person. If you read my blog, you know I joined BlueSky just a few days ago. I was immediately blown away by postings of his work, and we’re following each other there now. If you join BlueSky, his ID there is @cgfischerphoto.bsky.social. He gave me permission to post some of his work.

I hope you’ll visit his website, buy his book. Fair warning: looking at his portfolio can be like going down a rabbit hole. It’s addictive and you may lose a lot of time there. Happily, your ‘trip’ will be joyous. :0)

End of our Vicarious Vacation

“Beach Sunrise” – MaryLou Lewis

ML is always up even before the crack of dawn. If sunrise came at around 8am, I would be up to greet the day, too… :0)

“A New Day Begins” – MaryLou Lewis

She combines love of sunrises with a good walk, a really good thing I would like to emulate, as well, because I know my body would thank me – eventually.

“Birth of a New Day” – MaryLou Lewis

We have received beautiful sunrises and have gotten to watch some sandpipers skittering around on the sand. Life just couldn’t be much better.

“Nature’s Beauty” – MaryLou Lewis

A beautiful gift from a very nice lady. I hope it was relaxing to HER, as it was to ME. Thanks, ML.

Thawing a Bit

Montana Roots – @MontanaRoots on X – GEC-YtoakAAMPNl

We’re finally getting a bit of thawing! The schools are still closed, showing our roads are still bad, but we have another good day where we’re above freezing before we have another round of colder tonight and more snow on Monday.

Paul Willson – “Winter Oaks” – @PaulWillson on X

My husband actually drove down the driveway yesterday to get our mail. He said our Blizzaks (snow tires) worked well. I will wait until the driveway looks a bit less like a ski slope and the schools are open before I try it.

Tim Scanlan – “On a Cold and Frosty Morning” – @TScanlanPhoto on X

I pride myself on always showing up – usually a bit early – for appointments. Suffice to say I HATE not being able to get to ones I’ve scheduled because of the weather. I really don’t like to disrupt other people’s schedules because I can’t get down my own driveway – and up again. The fact that the local schools are still closed this time helps a bit.

Paul Willson – “Winters Wonderland” – @PaulWillson on X

I’m ready for spring.

Gifts From Mark Gray

I find Mark Gray’s photos very distinctive. I look forward to finding another stunningly beautiful scene from Mark every day on X. I’m never disappointed. I particularly love his videos, though, where I can take a vicarious vacation at the ocean for a few moments, including the glorious sound!
