It snowed here in Connecticut on Wednesday - though thankfully not the big behemoth of a snowstorm that they were originally warning us about - the day before that, though, was an absolutely picture-perfect day with beautiful clear February skies and temperatures in the low 40's.

ReplyDeleteThat shot is amazing. It looks so warm too and most of us are ready for that.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific day and weekend. Happy Valentine's day too. Big hug. :)
The blue skies and sun's rays are stunning, a simple look at nature. However, the sun glare shows up on the trailing edge of the gull's wings, leaving a bronze glow on the bird. Nice view from a D60!

ReplyDeleteThat is stunning. Well done, Linda.
ReplyDeleteStunning. Breathtaking. Outstanding. Truly.
