Last Friday we did get our first snow of this winter. Not much and it was all gone by Monday.
Still, it was very cool as long as it lasted.
Thanks for looking. Comments are always welcome.

Stunning images, I really like your high-key processing .
The first one is for the wall.
Looks like you had quite a bit of wind with the snow as well.

I will respectfully agree with lazlo that the first is stunning, but the second shot tugs more at my heart strings and the third would hang on my wall if toned down only a little.

all are marvelous! but Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr; I could not shoot in that weather - but glad you posted these super images; love you processing of the whites.
regards, tom

I liked these "over there," Chris.
And I like them here also.
I agree with Lazlo on the high-key treatment.
The third image converted very well, and remains my favorite in B&W.
Nice work.
Charlie

All three are nice, although the first one seems a bit under-exposed?
Mirza

Great stuff Chris! Love the feel of the trees. The density draws me into the mass to see what I can see...

I love all of them. Most especially #3. One of those shots that makes me wish I had taken it. High praise from my small jealous mind.

Nice shots. #3 is a beautiful capture!

Thank you Lazlo.
Yes, there was a chilly wind and light snowfall in the first image.
I was walking around with camera on tripod hanging in my right elbow and an umbrella in my left hand.

Manny thanks Tom.
We don't get much snow. So if we do It's exciting and that helps to ignore the cold.
Glad you like.

Thank you Mizra.
The first was shot with overcast sky and light snowfall.
The other two the next early morning with clear sky.

Thank you Greg.
The snow did some very neat things to the forest. Glad you like them.

HI Chris, lucky you...we rarely get snow here. I really like #3 - its very striking, black and white is the perfect choice though I imagine it was already half way there
cheers Andrew

Manny thanks Andrew.
Well, actually there was nothing wrong with the light and colors that morning.
Cheers Chris

Wow, Chris these are stunning images, my favourite was #3 until I saw the colour version, the soft pastel blues are delightful.

Cheers ray
