in the dead of winter

2.04.2012






With winter comes freezing temperatures, dry skin, and slippery sidewalks. These are usually excuses for my burrowing under my covers, inside, far from the cold. I just don't get outdoors enough to notice winter's overlooked beauty. 

But today, as I walked the neighbor's dog around the block, little things - such as the golden bushes, and patches of white snow atop - were brought to my attention. I was captivated. Summer is a glorious season full of vibrant, bold colors - one reason I love it so - but winter brings beauty to the dead and dormant with its pale golden & brown pallets. 

And as I hurried to capture winter in its magnificence before the sun left to the other side of the world, I realized how much I love photographing life as it is - people or still life or nature - all of it. It's all a part of who I am, and where I live in this ever-so-majestic world. 

Beauty is everywhere, even in the dead of winter.
