Winter Scenes in the Finger Lakes

No matter where I go or what the season, I love to take pictures of winter in the Finger Lakes. As the snow falls and the holidays approach, there's beautiful holiday lights and decorations everywhere. I have to admit, I'm not an outdoor winter enthusiast, you'll typically find me inside byt the fireplace with a good book and a glass of fine Finger Lakes wine. BUT...after a snowfall, I can't get outside fast enough with my camera to capture the breathtaking beauty of the freshly fallen, snow.

Here are just a couple of my favorites.

Ice crystals on the kitchen door. Brrrr it's cold out there this morning. The snow on the deck crunches under your feet.

The cardinals dance in the bushes and look like well-placed ornaments as they scramble to gather the sunflower seed falling from the living room window feeder above.

How about this sunset along Ontario Beach on Canandaigua Lake? I stopped one night on my way home from work, just to watch the sunset over the lake. It was so peaceful.

There's always something beautiful to photograph here. Next time, I 'll share some winter wild life photos.
