We had our second major winter storm this weekend. When I went out this morning, the temperature was still below freezing, so the ice had not melted from the trees. I just had to pull over and take a few photos with my iPhone for everyone to enjoy. Let me know what you think.

I decided to avoid the normal reflective water scene and go with a landscape of the Shenandoah Valley taken from Skyline Drive in Virginia. The fall colors were unusually muted this year because of the weather, so I enhanced the red a little to bring out the fall feeling.

I liked the setting for this beautiful tree protecting one of the many roadside pull-offs where you could stop to see an overview of the valleys below.

This is my first entry into the Weekly Photo Challenge from the Traveling at Wits End blog. I was drawn in by a post from the sonofabeach96 blog. Since red is my favorite color, I thought I would share three photos from a recent trip to the Shenandoah Valley. We stayed at th wonderful Piney Hill Bed & Breakfast, and these photo are from their property.
Here is that same bush in two closeup photos.
This one is an “all-red” photo.
Follow any of the links provided, included from the B&B. If you are ever in the area, I would recommend you give Piney Hill a try.
This picture was taken from Skyline Drive looking down over the Shenandoah Valley. This sentinel guards over a small field on the side of the mountain.
