Excellent photo mon amie. It doesn't however look very much like spring. Love the mist/fog/snow (wanted to cover every thing it could be LOL) Also the sun TRYING to peek through the clouds...

Ron from Saint Louis, United States
A beautiful shot, Lorraine. The fog suggests to me that at least it may be warming up a bit ... although the road to spring probably does seem long from where you're standing!

@Ron: I'll take fog, I'll take rain, I'll take pretty much anything but...ah what the hay, a few more snowstorms ;)

Absolutely superb Lorraine! The sun peeking through gives it just enough life! Lovely tones and compostion.;-) Sorry I just don't seem to have enough energy to make it around everybody all of the time - but you might like to see some of the creatures I am posting from the Vancouver Aquarium right now. Last time you liked something - you said "Why didn't you tell me"? So this time I am!

DarkElf from Perth, Australia
great wintery road! i really like how the sun shines through the tree and how the fog diffuses its rays so that they stay nice and soft and create great lighting for this scene...
