Hi fellow Hiveians,

Today I wanted to add a couple of older pictures together for Monochrome Monday this week!

Mixture Monochrome Monday

It's been a heck of a last few days in the house.. sickness rears its ugly head again! It's definitely been a brutal winter so far, and we are definitely looking forward to the springtime when this crap goes away lol.

In the spirit of deep winter though, let's get a few pictures together of some cold looking stuff in black and white! It certainly feels dark and dreary, the way we've been feeling in our house. I enjoy the dramatic look of the coldness of the ice, altered and made feel even colder by taking away all of the colors as well!

We are supposedly getting some snow in our area finally, if that actually happens remains to be seen but I know that I'm looking forward to it! I know that we are having some health issues and that's to be expected in the wintertime but it doesn't take away the beauty of snow and snowstorms! I love the way the whole environment is given a fluffy allure to it, almost like there is a bunch of marshmallow all over the place haha. I think this one here is one of my favorite pictures of the wintertime, actively snowing and those light poles add a pretty dramatic element to it all. The hard white light fighting away the darkness of not only nighttime but also of the snowstorm we were getting at the time.

I know that we are fortunate to live in a time where we don't have to worry too much about shelter, heat and all those types of things in the wintertime. Yes we certainly need to keep things up and repaired but wintertime for the people who were alive 300 years ago compared to today must be such an incredible difference in terms of staying warm and healthy!

The other part of the snowstorms is that they tend to do some destruction! A lot of the trees around here are pretty old which is a good thing but they are also burdened with all kinds of vines and other shit that is heavy enough. Add several hundred pounds of heavy, wet snow on top of it all and you've got quite the challenge on your hands! There are always a number of trees that get knocked down in the snowstorms, hopefully with the snow we get this winter there won't be too many downed trees and power lines. That is the hardest part, when the trees knock out the electricity!

I love the marked dramatic effect of the black tree branches mixed with the pure white of the snow. It really makes a special looking scene in a lot of ways!
