Winter transformation

After I photographed the statue outside the library, I shot pictures in my “backyard studio”. I leave up the dead vegetation as a snow trap. It doesn’t look all that great. But the frost wrought a wonderful transformation.

Frosty

Winter has its drawbacks — darkness, cold, dangerous roads –, but the season can also be incredibly beautiful. I especially love frosty mornings.

Here’s the statue in front of our library. Sculptor is Greg Todd. It’s titled More than Words.

I’ve shot other pictures of this statue, but they don’t compare to this natural embellishment. Yes, winter definitely has its compensations!

By the way, I can’t hear the phrase More than Words without hearing the song by that title from Extreme:
