Winter on the HIll

Winter on the HIll
Winter on the HIll

----
Winter looked VERY different at the top of this hill on a beautiful but windy day on Monday at the Pennypack Ecological Preservve. These colors are exactly as they appeared. From the summit, we looked down on a gorgeous farm, with red barns, several horses, a large pond, and turkey vultures circling overhead.
----
We are going back there tomorrow afternoon, which is forecast to be VERY cold and VERY windy, to see the sunset from this hill. Brr.
----
Along this fence, tiny red and green "flowers" were growing in the rotting areas. Later they were identified to be "British Soldier" lichens. I had never seen living lichens prior to this.
---
Have to run out at 6 am to shoot a news event in Philly. Will catch up later today.

  I LOVE your composition here, Michelle. It makes me wish I was sitting up on the tractor about to make a new "row" ... We city girls don't get to see this type of beauty very often and it feeds my souls and eyes!

Great job!

  I always learn something new when I look at your posts. Love how you captured the crest of the hill. Can't believe how green it is there.

  Great POV Michelle for a dynamic image.

The warm colors generated by the setting sun fool me into thinking this was taken on a nice day.
