Hi Amanda....I am trying to figure out in what Season this picture was taken..By the leaves of some trees looks like there are signs of Fall,but also it seems some of the trees are ready to bloom like there are signs of Spring..
This is a great find and it wasn't until a recent trip to Cape Cod,Mass. that I learned about the importance of this wind mills...
There are a few that remain on the Cape and some have been restored to become museums..
Beautiful settings and love the blue sky with those puffy clouds.Very pretty lighting and colors also..Well captured. #7906265

Oh, you are magic with a camera, Amanda. What glorious detail and composition. You always seem to wait for the perfect time of day and year to record your magic. From the shadows in the grass, through the colors in the trees to the perfect cloud dots in the sky. Inspirational. #7907164
