An almost colorless day

[ramapo]

Friday started out as a day without any color. Low clouds and snow made it seem like I was shooting black and white. Very different.
Then a little color went a long way.

1. I really like 3 and 4

2. This morning was like that. I stood outside and was amazed at the total

lack of color. Very odd really. Love the second & third pics.

5. Stops signs always good for color on a snowy day!

I have almost the same picture from Friday! I love your red bird in the tree. There was not a bird to be seen when I was out Friday except for the ducks on the pond.

[glinda]

8. Yes, I agree! Too bad there were no birds for you.

often.
Please.

6. Love #2. Makes me home sick for Maine.

7. Have never been to Maine but would love to go. What makes it

remind you of Maine? Grey?

[ManiacJoe]

10. The mix of evergreens and deciduous trees covered in snow.

The amount of snow would be more from my childhood. Due to climate change, Maine does not get the snow like it used to.

I would attribute the grey more to the camera's exposure meter, but it does look to be a heavy cloud cover.

11. Some days here are totally grey when there is a ton of humidity

in the air. The winters here used to be dry and nice. Now they are more like Chicago with the moist small dense snow that feels that it is full of lead. Geeeze. I thought Maine had a lot of snow......thought our snow here in MN. went Eastward now.

12. The snow in Maine started to drop off in the 1980s.

If it was not for man-made snow, there would be very few ski resorts left in New England.

22. Did you say snow?????

[ManiacJoe]

24. Nice shot. Good side lighting.

Looking under the trailer, you can tell that there is not really that much snow there, 8-12 inches total?

[glinda]

26. Yes. About that amount. But heavy.

9. Wonderful pics!

It's amazing what a little color can do...

[Mira]

13. The third one is my favorite by far. That water.....ahhhh

so smooth.
The one in color is a nice shock to the b/w system, I would crop it differently.
Do you mind if I do?
It's one of my idiot-syncracies to re-crop stuff at times.

[ramapo]

15. Please do

I'd like to see your take on it.

[Mira]

16. Here you go

You may hate it
but it jumped right at me to crop the fence away.

[ramapo]

18. I like it

You kept the part of the fence that mattered to me. I had liked the snow sitting on it and now I see the rest just got in the way.

[Mira]

19. Good - I did not offend you.

It's a photo with lots of good "bones".

[ramapo]

17. I love the seasons

Just for fun I went to the archive and found this one from summer 2011. Same pond, shot from the same end of it but facing a different way. It just occurred to me that it might be a fun project to photograph the same scene once a month for a year. I'm thankful I grew up and live in a part of the world that experiences all four seasons.

21. Love it.

20. These are lovely.

I like number 3, too. My world looks much like this for a good part of the year.

23. Lucky you!!!!!
