It was cold late this afternoon, but I’ve been dying to capture the ice-covered trees with the sun glistening over them. I loved today’s beautiful winter sky, and I’ve been wanting to capture this pond for several months now. On our way home school today, I knew what my next landscape shoot would be: this pond frozen over, with the ice-covered trees illuminated by the setting sun. I had to park several hundred feet away from this location, and trek through ice and cold winds, and even had a few honks from passers-by that I know, but I am super pleased to have captured this gorgeous winter scene. The only casualty was getting my truck stuck twice, but I managed to maneuver my way out of the ice and ruts.
