Have a look at what others have noticed this week:
Karen at Random Reflections
Melissa at Daily Life-Bits & Pieces
Maggie at Farmers Wife Day by Day
This week what I have been noticing that Mother Nature paints with some intense colour during the winter months. I am sure that because the winter daylight hours are brief & animals & birds need to find food easily, Mother Nature paints many of the seeds & berries left about in red. I know a tiny bit about the science of red & the vision wave length of birds. I am seeing red this Thursday.

These captures are lovely ... a gorgeous pop of colour against all the snow! In London today, we have blue skies and sunshine (long may it last ...).
ReplyDeletebeautiful photos celebrating winter, we haven't had any snow yet
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for a threesome. (So to speak!)
ReplyDeleteThat bright red really shows up! Our red dogwood berries are long gone, but it is interesting that there's so much red. Good catch :)
ReplyDeleteRed---my favorite color and especially beautiful against the whites and grays of winter.

ReplyDeleteI'm back from my blog break - and working on getting a more regular routine of blogging again - and finally getting around to catching up on blog reading.
Those reads are all the more effective for being set against the soft hazy whites and greys. Lovely group ...
