Default A couple of shots from last winter

Hello! I'm new here and this is my first photo posting. These were taken late last winter/early this spring after an ice storm. They were shot with a Canon RebelXti. I don't have the specifics on the shots. There was some pp work done in Photoshop Elements as the light this time of the year is often gray. Tell me what you think.

Thank you both Yes, I'm not a fan of or ready for snow and ice, but it is beautiful. The last two are also my favs which is why I posted them last. They're like dessert.

Beautiful shots, Lisa! I love the detail in the last one. It's like a magnifying glass into the soul of the bud. ...and I like the detail of the smooth lines you captured and composed perfectly in the ice. Welcome to DPS, and thanks for sharing.

I love these shots. Makes me glad I live in the south tho LOL. The last one reminds me of a scifi shot. Aliens from outer space.
