A Winter's Sunset

One of the things I love the most about living in upstate NY are the changes in the seasons.  There is something I love about every season, but I have to admit that this time of the year is a bit of a struggle for me. 

I love the first few snowfalls, I love the way the light reflects off the snow, the way it settles in tree branches and blows across open fields.  I love driving past peoples homes and seeing warmth radiate from windows and Christmas lights adorning porches, but as January starts to end my love of winter starts to wain.  I long for warmer days, longer days, and time spent in the sun. 

While driving home from my parents house last week, I was reminded of the beauty that winter has to offer.  It are these little gems that make the colder days a bit better.  So until the warmth returns I have decide to keep looking for the things that make winter so magical, starting with a simple sunset.

(These are the photo's I took on that ride home.  I stopped only once while driving down Buck Hill and these were all taken in the same field.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.)
