We actually received some ice and snow last night:-) Tomorrow it's supposed to rise back to 45 degrees fahrenheit so it'll melt...
Love your capture. That bench seems as if it's calling for visitors. Beautiful capture.

What a cool shot. Love the lonely feeling this photo gives with all of the snow and the empty bench. Great job!

The solitude is inspiring. I can see my breath yet I am warm and cozy feeling at peace. That is what I see and feel anyway remembering past winters. Wonderful composition.

A naturally tree-framed bench (and silhouettes of a couple walking slowly on the left ?)... I can hear the scroutch-scroutch my feet would do if... but I'll stay still and silent myself, promised*

Very spiritual. I would have called it "Solitude." Thank you for the ee cummings quote; it brought back lots of memories; he had a profound affect on me all through the 60s. Also good to see that you are using the classic D70, a great camera.

The bright snow blinds us. We can only see the white skeletons of trees against the black background.

The solitary feeling here is so strong. The distance makes me wish I could get closer, but I'd only find that what I wanted to be there is already gone.

I love ee cummings - your imagery does his prose great justice. Very nice on both of your parts.
