December 23 - The Colors of Winter



       While some folks look at the colors of winter as drab and lacking luster, I've always loved the umber hues with the contrasting shades of the evergreens.  As I drove around looking for interesting subjects to photograph, I was reminded of a song called the "The Colors of Winter".  Below, you'll find the first stanza along with a few photos which will serve as my illustrations to go along with the lyrics.  

The Colors of Winter by Lois Brownsey & Marti Lunn Lantz




The colors of winter appear all around.

The colors of winter, blue sky, trees of brown. 


Shades of green, shades of gray.Growing deeper ev’ry day.
The colors of winter, these colors abound.



Purple sunsets casting shadows, Evergreen trees are bending low
 Hues of white reflect the light
Upon the glist’ning snow.
