Usually, I prefer summer, spring and fall. I find the brighter colors to my liking. However, since I decided to look for the beautiful in even the boring suburbs, I have noticed more of the small things. The world is not just grey, but brown, dark greens and the occasional icy blue sky. If you look closely there is gorgeous contrast everywhere.
This picture is taken from my porch. The “yard” is not very exciting. It is mostly evergreens that don’t change very much over the seasons. Then I spotted the birch tree at the end of the building. I love the contrast of the bare branches and the bright cloudy sky and the needled evergreen. The lighting was so strange – it looks almost black and white.
