This and that: Winter Sunset

Winter Sunset

I have decided to combine my photography blog with this blog... You didn't know I had a photography blog did you?  Well, know you will see those post over here.  All I have to do is figure out where to put the tab so that it is easy for you to find these post.

Karen from My Little Home and Garden each winter has a meme called Sunlit Sunday.  I am so excited that she is doing it again this year.    It is a little way to get some sunlight into the dreary winter we are having everywhere... cold and snow.  If you would like to join, head over and check out what you need to do and bring a little Sunlight into Our Lives. 

 We haven't had much sunlight this winter as it has snowed every day... and I mean every day.... Snowed so much that the last I heard we have had a total of 170 inches so far.  A couple of weeks ago we did get a little sun  and the sunset was magnificent.  I did take these pictures through my second story window on my phone.

Winter Sunset


I love the colour of the sky in this picture and the sun shining on the house that is in the background.

  2. Hi Marly,
    Great selection for sunlit sunday photo. We have had a lot of snow as well. I almost have to get on a step ladder to take a picture.

  5. I'm thrilled that you've decided to join in with Sunlit Sunday again this year, Marlys. I can't believe how much snow you have in your area. The second photo looks like the kind of card or painting one sees where the artist has added in more and more of the white stuff, beyond what nature would provide; yet, it is really that heavily laden on the trees and homes. It does make for a gorgeous photo. Thank you for bringing a winter sunset this week.

  6. Both images are just lovely, but the second one is like a painting of a magical fairy village! That's a whole lot of snow. Very pretty, but I'll stick to the Gulf Coast where even we are going to near record lows this week. Let the sun shine! Happy New Year!

  7. Dear Marlys, Your photos are lovely. I am learning how to take pictures too. The snow does look pretty. There is a lot of snow here too and very cold, though today is warming up a bit for a day or too.
    Happy New Year. Blessings, Catherine

  12. Such beautiful winter images Marlys - I can't believe there is so much snow!
    I don't know how I would cope with that - as my friend Judith of Lavender Cottage says 'have your shovel ready'.
    Sending you a pocket full of sunbeams to warm up your day!
    Warm hugs

  13. I see others have already said what I thought upon seeing the second photo - it looks like a beautiful painting. What a great shot. Staying indoors seems like a great idea during the cold you are experiencing.
