This is another shot from my Friday exploration of the fresh snow fall. The loop of trail at the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge Headquarters never disappoints. On this day, the woods were still, and the fresh snow was over everything…even piled on the branches of the baby Pines and the sapling Furs. The early light of mid-winter, with its long shadows and touch of warmth, keeps the scene from being frigid…and an HDR treatment brings up the vivid green of the evergreens and the rich browns of the tree-trunks. This is a winter where life is very possible…a winter a human can still enjoy 🙂
