The colors of winter

I've heard people saying they're so tired of winter and how ugly it looks outside.  Here's an image that contradicts that statement.  The snow in the country reflects the colors of the sky.  During sunrise and sunset, we get to see pinks, oranges, blues and various shades in between.  The reflection on the snow looks like a water color reflection off of water. 

During the day, the colors display various shades of gray:  steel gray, purple-gray, red-gray, blue gray, green gray.  There are shades of brown and black intermixed with the with the grays and whites.

While the landscape does not show the brilliant greens of spring, there's no shortage of colors to admire in the winter landscape.  If you are tired of the winter and need a pick-me-up, take a drive out to the country.  Bundle up with layers of clothes, bring your dog, take a walk and soak in some winter beauty.
