Sungold Snow Clouds

[lavendertook]

Here's an interesting special effect nature produces that I hadn't noticed before. Sunday, the day after the big storm, it was sunny, cold, and windy. In the early afternoon, I watched wisps of snow blowing off branches and through the trees out my window, and as they'd pick up sunlight, they looked like someone took a handful of gold glitter and tossed it into the wind.


That spot of light in this pic is not the sun, which is higher in the sky above the confines of this pic, but a sungold snow cloud. Specially ordered for Philip Pullman fans. There's a couple more pics of the effect under the cut.


The light of Telperion and Laurelin mingling.

It was lovely to look up from my macbook and see that happening out the window Sunday. (-:

So beautiful. But everything is colorless now. :)

I will be posting more autumn pics from around the lake, and then some summer ones, so there will be color! (-:

You really have a photographer's eye.

I'm hoping they don't want it back. ;-P

Thank you, hon!

It's a beautiful effect.

The shimmering was beautiful to behold. Being inside and warm helped. (-;

It really was neat to peek over my macbook and see that.

And some off-kilter bird was out there singing a spring song today. There's always one . . . (-;

Thank you! (-: I hope you're having a lovely holiday! *hugs*

Thank you, hon! (-: That was taken though the window, so I was warm and cozy in my little second floor smial.
