NaturePhotographers > arctangent  > Nature > Four Seasons > 2009 The many moods of Winter
Mid-January through mid-February is, to me, the period of deepest, though not darkest, winter. I can already sense the lengthening days.

I've started the gallery with pictures that illustrate the transition from autumn into winter, and have progressed to pictures of full blown winter! Brrr!!!

Winter is not always bleak. It also has what I call its "manic" phase...the bright happy face of sunny days with sparkling snow and crystal clear air. Enjoy!

(FYI: As of January 16, I have moved the earlier winter pictures into Nature /Four Seasons / Winter - Barely.)

Once summer arrives, I will move some of the place-specific landscapes to the separate galleries for those places.

Winter sky #2 Late afternoon. The high winds had been driving clouds across the sky for hours. Toward sunset, this lone hole opened up.
Snowballs. The clusters of oak leaves held onto the snow in big blobs, almost like hands making snowballs.
A pocketful of snow. A curled leaf has caught and held its fill of snow. It is from some prairie wildflower that I can't identify from its leaves. Tall grass prairie restoration at Secor Park.
Our work is done. Time to make way for new shoots. Prairies grasses lying down into the open space of the cleared path. Secor Park, Toledo, Ohio
Not the moon, and not trees. Winter sky #4. A midday sun silhouetting dried stems of tall prairie wildflowers. Some stems of prairie grass can be seen behind the flower stems. Secor Park, Toledo, Ohio, December 18, 2008
Cattails and teasel along the river's edge. Huron River, Gallup Park. December, 2008
