January - the time of snow and cold where I live in the Southern Tier of New York.
June - warm, sometimes hot, full of plant life.
Let's compare the beauty of each in the area where I live. Is there a winner?
It's J day in the Blogging from A to Z Challenge. I am also joining Lisa at This and That: A Blog for her #ShadowshotSunday. Yes, it's Saturday but why not? Please enjoy the shadows in some of these pictures.
These photos are mainly from years past.
Shadows on the ground on a January day, complete with male Northern Cardinal on feeder (the little red dot in the middle) and reflections on the ground. Sorry for the window reflection spots.
June, same yard but with a woodpecker.
January 2020, snow squall, downtown Binghamton, New York.
June, Broome County Courthouse, downtown Binghamton, New York.
January, snow on a bush.
June 2024, flower in same yard.
But it's April now, and flowers are back. Jonquils, April 5.
All is beautiful.
J day in the Blogging from A to Z Challenge. My theme: Beauty of our Land.
They are all great photos, the County Courthouse is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting to see the same view in different seasons.
ReplyDeleteYou've been very creative in following your A to Z theme. Love the jonquils.
ReplyDeleteInteresting comparison
ReplyDeleteJanuary and June are both winners. I love seasons! Good pictures and good question.
ReplyDeleteJanuary -- not a fan due to the cold. June-- my favorite month, unless I'm in Utah where it can be colder than it should for June, which is also my birthday month. I actually posted about weather today so I guess I have weather on my mind.
ReplyDeleteAlana, I enjoyed the comparison photos in your area for January and June, very cool idea for the letter J. I'm so happy for spring's return even with my allergies beating me up today. This will pass. It actually feels more like early summer. The thermometer reads 81. Have a nice weekend, my dear!
ReplyDelete...hold on, June will be here before you know it.
ReplyDeleteTerrific shots.
ReplyDeleteYes, those are very different months.
ReplyDeleteA much larger difference between them than here! I do like the shadow of the fence on the snow.
ReplyDeleteI love the contrast between the seasons.
ReplyDeleteI love the view in your backyard in both seasons. You must love seeing the different birds visiting your feeder throughout the year.
