BRIGHT WINTER DAY

  Today was a very bright winter day. There was not a cloud in the sky so we received all the light possible from the sun. 





   It was minus 31 C at about 10:00 AM this morning when I took these photos.

  1. It's always beautiful on a snowy, winter's day when the sun shines brightly. I remember the times well but I also had a difficult time when the sun was shining and reflecting off the snow. My eyes would water so much I could barely keep them open.

    1. Yes, wear sunglasses to help protect against the sun glare.

  4. A bright winter day means a cold winter day. It looks so enticing and then you realize that maybe you should stay indoors.

    1. And a good photographer has light questions as far as a photographer is concerned.

  8. Neat pictures. Question: In an average Red Deer winter, is snow on the ground most of the time?

  9. You're welcome to weather like that. I always wonder how the first European settlers managed to survive the Canadian winters.

  10. Really pretty, Red. But if the sun is out and the snow isn't melting, it's too cold. The 4 degrees F in K.C. was cold enough this morning. The doc's lab tech took frozen blood from my arm.... Linda in Kansas

    1. 4 F is cold and if there's wind it's really cold.

    1. We usually think of winter as dull so when it's bright we notice it.

    1. Well, that's not the Kline mansion. I've lived here in the same house since 1970.

  16. These are beautiful pictures and the sun does indeed brighten them. I bet you needed to wear your sunglasses out today!
