January can be a bit dreary. The holidays are over and the weather can be a bit undesirable. But, there is beauty to be found everywhere.
A bit of brown can be found all over the farmette.
A dash of fading white peeking out from the fence row.
What would January be without a bit of beige?
A splash of red hanging on for dear life in the vines.
And, last but not least......
a single green leaf waiting for spring.
That is the way it is here too
ReplyDeleteSame here in the UK. Is grey, miserable and wet.... nothing changes though.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day Michelle.
Always good to keep your eyes open and your camera ready. Love the splash of red.
ReplyDeleteTruly lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe red is always surprising in nature...
ReplyDeleteYou always share the best pictures! Hope you have a nice day.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lot better than white...white...white!:-}
ReplyDeletei truly love the muted tones of winter. the browns and grays are soothing to me.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are beautiful, and your attitude is terrific!
ReplyDeleteThe colors are all around -- just need to to look for them! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder that at this time of year, we have to look for the color. It has been so dark and dreary here!! No rain, just damp and dreary.
ReplyDeleteIt may be a bit dreary looking there, but the photos are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLOTS more whiteness up here.
ReplyDeleteLOTS more whiteness up here.
ReplyDeletelovely!
ReplyDeleteI saw on another blog that winter is the sepia month....void of color and waiting for spring. But the snow does make the bits of color stand out a bit more. I still like it, anyway.
Hi Michelle, love to see those pictures......here white on white......Blessings Francine.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteA lovely way to look at Winter, Michelle. Beautiful photos. I love the lonely leaf. xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Pictures! Colors really pop against the dreary-ness of everything else in the winter.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Michelle. Yes, the skies are gray and the wind is blowing, but before long it will be spring again.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Laura
It looks so cool and fresh after days of sun and heat, today is a bit cooler and overcast maybe some rain that would be nice.
ReplyDeleteMerle.....
Yep....one reason I love our East Texas Pines....they make the landscape sing during our winter months...

ReplyDeletebeautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love the green leaf photo very pretty! Your photos are beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteNature's beauty last all year round.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, you are working hard to find beauty in this season.
ReplyDeleteThose berries always catch my eye because they are pretty much the only color in town.
ReplyDeleteLooks good to me. White is all there is here but I like it:) B
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle, You have seen enough of John's Island to know that we share this fascination with the photos that pick up the interesting details that are so often missed in the the big overview scenes. This is one of the things I really like about "It's a Small Town Life." Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing with us. John
ReplyDeleteI saw a bunch of red chinaberries out the church window yesterday and it made me smile. I seek color in this dull and dreary winter season!
ReplyDeleteI'm one of the oddballs who likes winter. I like being able to see the skeletons of the trees and bushes, to find sudden unexpected views open up where greenery once hid them, and I like to feel the peace of sleeping earth. Green will come soon enough, and with it the surge of activity outside. For now, I am content to be quiet in the house.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. That's a lot more color than we have here. It's just white, white, white. But we have seed catalogs and dreams to keep us happy.
ReplyDeletei love these photos - just shows you that beauty can be found even in the depths of the coldest winters.
ReplyDeletewishing you and yours all the best for a blessed 2013~

ReplyDeleteYou certainly found beauty!
ReplyDeleteI really like the first photo with the gate.
