I was looking through a couple batches of winter photos from recent years and found some images I’d never posted here. Since my camera hasn’t left its bag in the last week or so, I’ll post a few of those old photos today.
So – I hereby present:
“Miscellaneous photos I didn’t previously feel were worthy of posting but are better than nothing.”
Or maybe, “I bet you’ve never seen THESE photos before!”
Stiff sunflower (Helianthus pauciflorus) buried in snow. Aurora, Nebraska.
Frozen stream/wetland. The Nature Conservancy’s Platte River Prairies, Nebraska.
Sun and shadow contrast on snow drift.

These photos are all so lovely and capture the essence of “place.”
I can feel the essence of the prairie looking at these photos thank you for posting.
How about some photos of harvestmen? Dig some of those out of the archives!

At first I thought the snow drift was sand–it looks like the sand of Pensacola Beach. Lovely photos. The wide angle with the cottonwood in the distance evokes the kind of time and space distortion you feel on the high prairie in winter–very well done.
Love sn*w! Beautifully captured.
Loved them!
Gorgeous shots! The last shot reminds me of sand dunes in Namibia…except that yours are white and cold of course. :)
