Black and white of snow under dawn’s dark light turns to snow black and white under a dark street light.
Cranes fly into darkness in the sun’s waning light.
Clouds break up over the Rio Grande and the snow-covered Sandias.
Mama Owl and Daddy Owl perched in a different tree.
Crows fly in the final light of dusk.
The pTerodactyl reflects in the darkness.
Off Center & Not Even 
Not much snow is a good thing. The third pic is my favorite.
Thanks, Frank.
Every visit to you is always amazing! Those Owls! And I agree with Frank… the third is a favorite.
Happy Week to you!
Thanks, Nancy.
You call that snow? Amateurs 😉
Beautiful images, Timothy.
Yes we are and I like it that way. Check out the ice and snow map of the northern hemisphere for today: https://www.eldoradoweather.com/snow-ice-cover.html
Nuts. I took a nice walk in the freezing rain.. only weirdly, was not cold at all…
You are a little pocket of freezing rain among the snow?
We got a good 5 inches or so of snow and, of course, for my lunchtime walk, it turned to rain, making a nice crust over everything. Including my coat and mitts.
Crusty cold? I’ve been known to be pretty cold and crusty without freezing rain!
Haha. Nahhh.
Dale is right, LOL. That is “amateur” snow. Still brutal cold, around 4 above, last night. Today will be 30 ahead of another 3-6 inches this afternoon, tonight into tomorrow on top of the half melted, half frozen 4 inches on the ground..
And as I said to dale, I like the amateur snowfall we get around here. I prefer it stay in the mountains.
Hahaha! Here is a tad warmer…it’s a whopping 10F though with the windchill is -8.
We’ve got a good two feet of accumulated snow with no signs of meltage any time soon
Very beautiful Timothy 🙂
Thanks, Gabriela. Do you have snow?
My pleasure. Not yet. It’s coming 🙂
Those are all beautiful compositions, Tim. Those Sandias…I never cease to be in awe of them. What a view!
Thanks, Lavinia.
I heard the ekectric powr is cut off in Texas. We also ha some snow: https://500px.com/photo/1028469071/Iestdyk-in-snowstorm-by-Wolf-Zorrito/
Thanks, Harry. Snow where it’s not common takes out the power. Looks like wind and snow in you photo.
Amazing, the deepening impression of the curved tire marks with the tree in the background but even significant … and the owls, attentive but peaceful, these two images are most “speaking” to me this time.
Thanks Puzzleblume. The tree is on the property when I left the house. The tire tracks are where I park downtown. 17 miles apart.
Zooooooom? I am always in wonder about the “magic”, how to shrink landscapes by photography.
This is a beautiful response to the images :O
Love these. (That is despite looking at the stuff all week.Tons of it, so there you go,)
It seems everyone around the world is posting snow photos. Thanks, Shey.
Aye yours are spectacular though.
Those tire tracks curves are perfect. Seems that even the drivers are artists over there!!!
Mama and Daddy Owl have so much to observe and admire. Sandias steal the show [the painter’s favorite spot!]. Happy Wednesday, my friend. Our snow is also melting away.
Funny you should notice the artsiness of the tire marks, which are a self portrait of an artist as an old man who parked his car. I started with the tree photo taken at the house followed by the tire tracks taken in the parking lot downtown, and noticed they looked great together as I was putting the post together. I put the two photos together and added them as one photo in the post. So its two photos in one taken 40 minutes and 17 miles apart.
The owls were in a tree closer to where they have nested in the past. Thanks, Marina.
What a brilliant melding! It’s perfect! I love that photo!
It’s all so beautiful, a wild paradise. The Owls have come to stay. Lovely scenes Tim.
Thanks, Holly. The owls should start sitting on eggs soon.
Then they’ll be more baby owls. I’m so excited!
There should be more owlets around April.
I can’t wait!
Nice, especially #2, cranes flying into the darkness.
Thanks, David
These are all gorgeous, Tim! But that top photo? It looks like something I’d see in a museum photography exhibit or in an exquisite coffee table book. Simply stunning composition.
Thank you so much, Mary Jo. Resa will be happy that her tree is calling to you. The two photos getting together were like getting peanut butter on your chocolate and finding out they go very well together. The two photos fit so well together it was a simple as putting on under the other after I started posting the two one after the other.
I love your blogs, and photos so much.
Thanks, Katie & Evee. I’m really happy you like my posts and photos.
Breathtaking, Tim. The last one really is a grand finale. I think the last of our snow melted this afternoon. It stuck around longer than I expected. Hugs on the wing.
Thanks, Teagan. Most of our snow is gone. There were snow flurries this afternoon, but nothing significant. It’s supposed to be sunny the rest of the week and next week.
You have an incredible eye for capturing beauty, Tim!
Thanks, Tiffany.
Here I am, fed-up, lock-down until at the earliest, March 15th, and it’s started to rain…
Perfect timing to see these great photographicalisations. Cheered me up! Merci, Mon Ami!
The snow covered Sandias looks for the world like a painting! Another wonderful collection Tim ..
Thanks, Julie.
