Winter embraces a minimalist spirit.
She paints her vision with a broad brush,
striking out extraneous detail.
Form stands out in stark relief and sometimes,
negative space tells the story.
Winter's color palette may be rich or subtle,
but is always limited in its variety.
Winter is a minimalist's dream.
Wishing you a happy and creative week!

A wonderful take on winter ... I had not thought of it this way.
Soothing and stirring at the same time. I hadn't thought that to be a possible combination. You are making the absolute best of minimal resources.
Nature is so wonderful...whatever the season. I love your winter images.
Lovely captures which are both simple and extremely expressive. A very Zen-like quality comes through. I love the feel of the last photo, the paler out of focus stalks in the background, the movement that the bent stalks give in the foreground and the hint of grasses on the right. This all stands out so well against the soft blue of the sky.
This is a calming picture and would look lovely enlarged to put up on a wall in your home.
Wonderful... you really captured winter here.
( I'm feeling a nice fire and a hot cup of coffee to keep me warm.) :]
Come to think of it, winter is indeed minimalist. And what beautiful scenario!
I love this sort of minimalist shots, they are always elegant, refine, simple in appearance but very difficult to take!
You have a lovely way with words and your camera. Love these pictures - a very soft and calming image.
wonderful Anna!The nature is so rich whatever the saison and you captured the correct feeling!

These are just gorgeous, and love your quote on winter. Especially like these black and whites.

You always make it look lovely..even if I'm sick to death of looking at it! I can't wait to see your "spring is emerging" photos!
Such lovely photos and wonderful words. This is one of those instances where the simplicity of the images are stunningly artful and beautiful. Lovely photography. genie
Quietly beautiful winter images.
Your photos give me pause for thought. They are wonderful!
