tree shadows...

i shall focus with photographs.

    Did I tell you I really liked the pictures of your people dressed in period costumes?

    You actually make snow look cosy..what an oxymoron eh?

    These are stunning, Erin! You have such a great eye. My favorite is the fifth one. Can't wait to see the paintings you are working on! (hint hint) xo – g

    Beautiful pictures! My eye fell on shadows recently too, in and outside. But we don't have so many, nor such beautifully big trees around and no snow either.
    Love the qoute from that great photopgrapher you added at the end.
    Bye,

    WOW. This message is for me. Perhaps this is a time of silence for me...and again dearest one, that photo of YOURS that you send...stunning. I will be using it, and I thank you ever so much. You are so gifted!!! Those shadows are sometimes all we have to show, isn't it???

    Much admiration, Anita

    I'd never read that quote from Ansel Adams. He and you are so right....the photos say it all.
    We had snow last night and it's "pretty" all over again.

    I love your trees! I think that's what I love the most about Winter are the silouettes the trees and branches leave. I never tire of looking at them.

    Erin, your post is a great reminder to look at life from a different perspective once in awhile....shadows, negative space, beauty in a reflection or rain puddle.... there IS beauty everywhere! Thank you!

    I cannot even think of the appropriate words to describe these photographs...they are beyond perfect. Peaceful, and beautiful. How can looking at cold snow, no leafs on trees, be so warm and cozy...Fabulous as always!!!
