Here is my entry for Jennifer’s One Word Photo Challenge with the topic of Winter.
We really don’t snow much, if at all, where I live in Oregon. So instead of the few times it does snow, I thought I would show you a little bit of our “normal” winter type weather.
During winter storms or breaks in storms we can have some fabulous splashes along the coast.
Fog is not an uncommon site inland and especially along the coast.
We will get hoar frost from time to time.
Typical sunny winter’s day in an Orchard.
Leaves that refused to fall in the winter.

Gorgeous. I think I’d like winter there too! There’s nothing like a winter ocean and I love that frost photo. Stunning

There are places in Oregon where it snows, but usually not much where I live. Our annual snow fall is an 1″.

We are in denial about winter over here. Nope, not going to think about it 🙂 Your winter is gentle, pretty. Ours is something else entirely.

That been one of my favorites for years. I took that many years ago. It was in my bedroom as a poster size for a lot of years.

It’s funny… I think of Oregon as being on the general lattitude of Vermont. I know Vermont gets snow. But then I remember that Oregon does touch the Pacific and California which are very warm. It does help to give perspective outside of my bubble! Thanks for that!. These are great pictures. I love the fog and the frost crystals the best. I have a hard time getting color or substance through fog pictures here.It all just seems muted and blurred. Is there a specific setting you use?

That little thing called the Pacific Ocean keeps us warm. Once you are off the beach 100 miles inland winters are cold and snowy as you would expect at our latitude.

Honestly with this summer being so hot, I’m looking forward to winter. But then we rarely stay below freezing from long periods of time (day or night).

From the sound of it, your winter is more like our fall. I could live with that too 🙂

These photos really show the beauty of our winters! Maybe it’s not as dramatic as snow but we do have our moments of beauty.

The many faces of winter. Very nice variety! I especially like the pattern of the hoar frost.. and the boats in the fog is my favorite! Such a dreamy lonely shot even though that marina looks packed 🙂
