Winter's Last Hurrah

Description

This was photographed outside our driveway in mid-February 2011. But it looks almost exactly like this now, as the last major snowfall in the Philadelphia area is almost a memory. The ash trees don't drop their leaves until Spring's new growth pushes them out. Although they are dead, they look orange in the glow of the sun.

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/320 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 1600, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 27.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 7D

The colors are lovely against the snowy backdrop. It would be wonderful when Spring's verdant colors blanket the area. #11271690

Lovely work Michelle. I didn't know that about ash trees; it must be nice to still have some color during the winter. #11271731
