Winter’s
Ice and snow accumulates
Neutralizing colors
Transforming the ordinary into
Enchanted scenes
Reverberating silence








All photographs in this post were taken at my High Desert home in Bend, Oregon.

Oregon is as beautiful in winter as it is in summer!
Yes, it is! Thanks, John.
The 2nd picture!
Just how?
Thanks, Hammad! I’m not sure which one you’re seeing as the second one. Is it the ice formations? Those were on my windshield, taken from inside the car.
2nd from the top. The cloud formation behind the bend tree.
Oh, that one! Lots of great cloud formations here, Hammad. The junipers each have distinctive personalities.
Gorgeous Winter photographs Siobhan! 💙
Thank you! ❄️
Well now you’re just showing off Siobhan! What a beautiful set of images. I especially loved the frosty window and the frozen red berries.
Thanks, Tina! After winter ends, I always wish I would have taken more pictures. It’s so pretty, we sometimes take it for granted.
Majestic photos, Siobhan. I especially liked the wind chime photo.
Thanks, Egidio! Yeah, that wind chime is pretty in any weather.
Love your shots of winter.
Thank you, Teresa! 🙂

Thanks, Ritva!
Wonderful gallery, Siobhan. I love that ice pattern on the window, amazing.
Thanks, Sofia! Yes, the patterns in the ice on my windshield were beautiful. 🙂
Wonderful winter images! My favorite is the trees with the full moon.
Thank you! The scene with the moon was so pretty.
Making me feel chilled…clearly time for us to pack and head south ha.
Yep, more snow is on its way. It does make for pretty pictures though, right?
