Thanks Leon and Cinda. What struck me initially was the lack of color. It looks for all the world like a black and white photo, but is not. It is unphotoshopped (if there is such a word ) so there was no fiddling with the color. It was a startling reminder that the landscape in winter can be quite devoid of color.

Many thanks Arlene and Mike. Your comments helped me decide to include this photo in a show that I'm going to propose to a local art gallery.

I loved it Larry and it won my vote also. A truly captivating photo. One thing that really grabbed me about this one was that it was something created wholly by nature. Probably somewhat rare to run across something like that but you did & it was obvious it was not in any way contrived or manipulated by the photographer. Kudos for being in the right place at the right time and *seeing* what would be a very special photo.
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown

This was hands-down my favorite of all the photo's I love, love, love the snowy, wintery peek-a-boo shot! It is BEAUTIFUL!!! Well done! I can't believe there isn't even a hint of green in the framing pine....amazing!
Thank you all for your enthusiasm concerning the photo. I certainly agree that the shot would make a lovely Christmas card and would have used it. We decided several years ago to send our Christmas greetings via email. We donate the money we save on cards and stamps to the local food bank.

Name: Rosie HILLSBOROUGH, NC (Zone 7b) If it sparkles - I'm there!
Makes one want to kerp going back for another peek. Would you mind if I use this as my screen saver? Would go nowhere else but on my Ipad.
I don't really know if Ipad can manage a personal screensaver. Never found an image that made me want to return to look as many times as this!!
Don't squat with yer spurs on!
People try to turn back their "odometers." Not me. I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved
Thanks for asking, Rosie. As long as you don't offer it for sale, you're welcome to use it. Best--Larry
