Winter is fast approaching. While the days here, have yet to see snow and winds, the still, freezing air is promising a harsh season to come. In these shots I took recently you can see nature trying to hold on to that last fruits of the season before spiraling into the long winter sleep

I took this first shot from an unusual perspective. I shoot the subject from below, looking up at the sky. Luckily the sun was covered by the clouds, and I didn't have a blown out sky.
How is winter treating you in your neck of the woods?

these are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteVery nice Mersad.....lovely colors.
ReplyDeleteThank you Joop.
DeleteWe are in a deep freeze here and the snow that we got last week is here to stay.
ReplyDeleteI hope you oull through. But then again, winter has just started.
DeleteThese are so stunning, Mersad! Wonderful photos! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing photographic talents...and thank you so much for your kind comments on my blog, it is most appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting back.
Deletebeautiful and our winter is like your summer here in Florida.. we are in the mid 80's every day, and had to run the AC for 4 days..
ReplyDeleteWow, that is unbeliveable to me to hear. But I know you and Bob are probably adjusted to it by now...
DeleteWe are close in seasons, snow is just starting here.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your images of snow then!
DeleteIt is actually a tad warmer in England than it should be. I'll take it :). Love your photos!!!! The depth on that top shot is unbelievable. Terrific focusing.
ReplyDeleteThe first shot was hard to pull off. Especially with the focus, because the berries are so small.
DeleteIt is 82 degrees here in Florida! Great photos!
ReplyDeleteOh wow. so it's the same as Sandra then!
DeleteMersad, these are exceptional photographs! Red berries against blue sky are amazing. And a berry on the last picture is awesome.
ReplyDeleteWinter doesn't treat me nicely. It's freezing cold weather. I can't even go out to do night photography. Wait when it will be warmer.
I know what you mean, the cold can be paralyzing.
DeleteLove the red berries shot. It's been bitterly cold here. So cold that many of the waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge have begun to freeze. I spent the day Sunday photographing many of them. They were fantastic! I'll share images on my blog in a couple of weeks.
ReplyDeleteA frozen waterfall sounds very intriguing.
DeleteIt's quite cold here, with just a dusting of snow. More is in the forecast, though. Your images are beautiful. Great perspective on those red berries.
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda.
DeleteLovely images. :) Winter is very snowy here. Soon, though, we will head South for ten weeks at sea where it should be very warm and sunny. Well, there is always an occasional tropical shower, but those usually come with beautiful rainbows.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Lois.
DeleteLove these shots! Freezing cold here in Santa Fe.
ReplyDeleteThnks for visiting Randy.
DeleteOh the colors and texture are magic! We finally got some wintry weather this week, brrrr!
ReplyDeleteI saw some of your images, they are great.
DeleteGorgeous! A change in perspective makes a big difference!
ReplyDeleteIt really does!
DeleteNicely done. Connecticut is having snow now, but it is warm and comfortable in Florida!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Jack!
DeleteKlasse Fotos und besonders das Zweite finde ich persönlich wunderschön. Richtig klasse in Szene gesetzt.
ReplyDeleteIch mag Winter, aber auch nur wenn es richtiger Winter ist mit Schnee und dazu dann Sonnenschein :-))
Wünsche dir einen schönen Tag und sende herzliche Grüsse
Nova
Da gebe ich dir recht! So gefällt mir der Winter auch!
DeleteDo the birds rush to eat the berries? We don't have snow yet but it is very, very cold so I guess it is on its way.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if they are being eaten by birds. Could be...
DeleteReally pretty photos, Mersad. I like your use of "perspective". We have lots of snow here, and cold temps.
ReplyDeleteBitter winters can make wonderful shots!
Deletewinter has been rather mellow thus far although this week it is much colder. We have not had much more than a dusting of snow but that is sure to change.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to snow here too.
DeleteBeautiful. You know what, this could have been taken in Oregon.
ReplyDeleteClose ups like these tend to be universal.
DeleteI love the berries against the blue sky!
ReplyDeleteI was also pleasentky surprised with how it turned out.
DeleteLove your captures for the past two days -- my computer has had some difficulties so I'm a little late visiting your blog, Mersad! It does look as though you and your family had a lovely visit to Budapest!! Thanks for sharing! Hope you've had a good week and wishing you ad great weekend! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWe did. Thanks for all your lovely comments.
DeleteBeautiful, beautiful images Mersad, the colours in the first are so pretty. I wish it was winter here, we have 38C today, not fun :)
ReplyDeleteI agree, doesn't sound fun at all.
ReplyDeleteThe first one is great...
ReplyDeleteCiao
Stefano
Two exquisite shots! Wow! I will be playing with my new camera soon and hopefully will have some good shots to post. Thank you so much for your offer of help! That was very kind.
ReplyDeleteNo problem, let me know if you need anything.
DeleteLike the first photo a lot!
ReplyDeleteThe "fadding" effect is great.
