Spring or Winter? I Can't Tell
We've had a couple of nice (depending on perspective) snowfalls the last few days here in northern Utah. I think there has been more snow in this first week of April than we had all of January. Here's a few shots from the local canyons and countryside. C&C welcome and thanks for looking!

#1 Oak Vortex

Wow, that's an excellent series! I like #2 and #5 best.

Great series. I like #5 the best and really like the low lying clouds.

I know I'm cheating because you said when these were taken, but the soooo look like a springs snowstorm. Really, really nice series, Jeff. IMO, they just get better as you go, although second to last would be my fave. Really nice stuff!

Great images! Love the way the hawk is looking over the fresh snow!

Hard to pic a favourite in this series, these are all very nice. I really like the freshness to the snow, and so Spring storm looking as Todd said, if I had to pic favourites it would be #2 and #5.

All wonderful images, Jeff. #2 and #5 are outstanding, but #1 just sets me back on my heels. That gets my vote.

What a great collection.

Great stuff, Jeff! My favs are 2 & 4. :smile:

I like #1 the most. The heavy-laden oaks are evocative of burden and duress. I like the feeling of this one.

I also like #2.
