This is just a quick shot of what I hope is my last wintery scene for the year :D!. I expect to be seeing lots of "green" very soon!  The trees were really glistening in the morning sun yesterday after the  lovely snow storm on Monday. 

Thank you for all the wonderful comments on my picture yesterday!

The Tewksbury State Hospital grounds are filled with theses wonderful old buildings, Many of which have seen better days, but add fresh snow and early morning sunshine they seem to be transformed back to their glory days.    

Have a great day everyone!

March has started off with a roar, a Nor'easter dumped over a foot of snow on us. The storm made for a horrible commute to work.  The plows were out in full force trying to clear the roads.  Hopefully (fingers crossed), this is the last snow storm we will see this winter.

"Winter Blues"

As much as I complain about the snow, it has provided us with some spectacular scenery.  I drove by this on my way to work yesterday, there were still a few flurries falling from our most recent storm.  On a typical day you wouldn't look twice at this scene. However, this morning with the sun beginning to break through the clouds and the snow still clinging to the branches, it was just breathtaking.

I processed the raw image using Capture NX2. I have CS3 but it does not recognize raw images from the D90.  I have a 60 day trial on this software, trying to decide whether to purchase this or upgrade PS to CS4.

"Who's turn is it to turn the hot tub back on!"

Sorry, but I had to post yet another snow scene.  As of the last storm, the Boston area has received 44.7 inches to date.  Probably half of that is still on the ground. We have already exceeded our average snowfall for the season.  I wonder how much more the next two months will bring, brrrrrrrr!

This is a sculpture that is in my town, when I saw it buried in the snow I just knew that I had to photograph it.  The name of the piece is "Touching Souls" by Mico Kaufman. The piece consists of four children, native-American, European-American, African-America and Asian-American, sitting on the ground, arms leaning back, legs outstretched and apart, with the soles of their shoes/boots touching all of which cannot be seen with the recent snowfall we have had. 

The full sculpture can be seen at  http://sculpturesbymico.com/touchingsouls.htm

"8 Weeks Until Spring"

Another day another snow storm! Yesterday brought another eight inches on top of the foot or so we already have. I didn't intended for this to be a photo of the day.  Originally I took it to send to my in laws who are wintering in Florida, so that they could see what they are missing.  This is my deck illuminated by the two outdoor lights next to the door. I setup my tripod and while I stayed in the house nice and warm, opened the door just enough for the camera and fired away. I played around with it in PS, ended up converting to B&W and then applied the Topaz Adjust plug in for the final result. 

Thank you all for the posts on yesterday's daily, I really appreciated all the feedback. This has been a challenging, albeit enjoyable, past 29 days.  There are so many talented people who post here each day.  I am so inspired by all the wonderful creative images I see here every day.

"Feed Me"

Another snow storm arrived last night and left an additional 6-8 inches on the ground. I took this photo of the blades of the snow blower after my husband finished clearing the driveway.
