While talking to my sister on the phone this morning, the sky outside my kitchen window slowly turned to this. As soon as we finished our conversation, I bundled up and went out with my camera. It was only 10ยบ, and I was not sure if the cold would hurt my camera, so I didn’t stay out long. Below is one of my first shots, taken from the tree with the bird feeders. I have a trail out to it, so you will notice a lot of my winter photos have been taken from this point.

Not five minutes later, the scene in the sky got even more lovely. I just couldn’t miss it, so went back out with my camera. Do you think it was worth a few minutes in the cold?


These photos are stunning! I was out driving in it this morning, and marveling at the colors even amidst the traffic. Thank you for capturing it and putting it here.
You are very welcome, Paulla!
So lovely. Honestly, my favorite is the first one with the kitchen window items. The juxtaposition of the pink sky and the glowing blue bottles is wonderful.
Absolutely worth the cold – ah, what we do for ART! All are lovely, but that top one, with the blue glass really caught my eye, very special light!
These are stunning photographs…. I too love the first one with the blue bottles… all would look woderful blown up and showcased on the walls of your house!
Sandy .. those are exceptional pictures ! .. I love the morning sky when it is so beautiful like this .. the clouds make it possible to see such variation of colour and texture .. gorgeous !
Breath taking pictures Sandy.
How BEAUTIFUL your skies were this morning! I’m so happy that you looked out the window as you talked to your sister and that you took the time to share here.
Hugs and blessings,
Just spectacular, glad you shared this one!!
Definitely worth it although you were the one with the cold toes and we benefited admirably.
It won’t come around again forever. You had the perfect timing with the perfect angle of the sun. Thank you for capturing it for us.
Ah, red sky at morning! What are we in for today???
Oh my! Fantastic, Sandy. All of them. Wow.
Giddy, we had a clear, dry day down here, so freezing cold!
OMG!!! These pictures are so pretty. I bet it was amazing to see in person.
The photos you captured were worth a few minute of cold, I would say.
Wonderful colors!
What a lovely place to visit at anytime of the year. Birdies look happy there.
Oh my! What an amazing sight! Definitely worth the cold!
Thank you for sharing these works of art. I particularly like the photo featuring the vases, so unique.
Some years ago I was getting ready for work when I looked out the window and was enthralled with a beautiful sunrise. I was so busy taking pictures I almost made myself late to work! I know just how you felt. Mother Nature does put on some beautiful shows. Thanks so much for sharing yours!
Just beautiful sunsets
I just saw these pictures, it is February 16, 2009, and I want to live where you do!!!
