"In winter's cold and sparkling snow,
The garden in my mind does grow.
I look outside to blinding white,
And see my tulips blooming bright.
And over there a sweet carnation,
Softly scents my imagination.
On this cold and freezing day,
The Russian sage does gently sway,
And miniature roses perfume the air,
I can see them blooming there.
Though days are short, my vision's clear.
And through the snow, the buds appear.
In my mind, clematis climbs,
And morning glories do entwine.
Woodland phlox and scarlet pinks,
Replace the frost, if I just blink.
My inner eye sees past the snow.
And in my mind, my garden grows."

Really nice Jim. It looks like a Hollywood movie set or something. Very surreal. The bridge shadow adds a bunch to the effect of the shot.

oldrattler - very king words, thank you!
Mark - I'v been thinking about an IR/snow shoot for a while and finally everything just worked out perfect, (like in the movies, maybe that's why it looks like Hollywood) fresh snowfall and blue sky. I ended up with several nice shots and thought this was the best of the bunch.
I appreciate that you all took the time to comment.

Wonderful composition. It's been a warmish winter for us in Oregon, no snow yet and I am definitely not complaining.

Thanks Oregon Gal,
The snow we had is gone now
The wind chill, when I took those pics on Saturday, was in the single digits (Cold Fingers). Yesterday it hit 50, what a weird winter. I'm a snow bird and miss the white, hate it when it's cold and brown.
