Hello! My name is Jodie. I live in Minnesota where the temps can fluxuate by 20 degrees in one day. Most of my photos have been taken very close to my home, a 10 acre hobby farm., where I raise Alpacas and chickens. I am a band director, a musician/singer and a photographer/adviser on the yearbook committee. My camera of choice is a Nikon. I have a D90 and a D70. I also have a SB800 flash and favorite lens is Nikon 18-200mm AF-S, with VR. Revisiting the visual arts is something I should have done years ago. If I see something remarkable, I just try to capture it. Nobody else will ever see it quite that way again so I hope you try that, too. This is just like expensive therapy for us.  Thank you for visiting and may you have a peaceful day!Â

Only an ex-Minnesotan like me would know exactly what you mean by "frosty and warm" -- and those are wonderful days. I love the cool blue shadows on the snow contrasted with the warm milky sunlight. Nice one!

You are lucky and thank you for sharing your view. Fantastic shot .. I can hear the quiet.

This really is a rewarding view. The photo is great with the peek through the trees like that and finding a tree with the bare ground under it really gave this more interest. The patches of light on the snow as the view heads for the horizon are really nice to keep the interst going.

so this is what you look out at...it couldn't be more fitting for a healing & thawing March day. (Do your work, nature!) I look out over 8 million highrises, a cubist interplay of planes, and (in winter) billows of white smoke coming out of every building, and a Lake that evaporates and makes you feel you're living on the edge of valhalla. Maybe I should paste this rich photo onto my window...MrsRatbag said, above, that only an ex-Minnesotan would understand frosty & warm. I'm sure she's right (I've been there, it's an almost unique state), but most of us midwesterners know something about these things. And she's also right about your "warm milky sunlight": You find that all over the universe. Our winters have these blue-bleached tones, yet the sunlight presides over everything like a big thick blanket. May these scenes warm & heal everyone! Mark
