Beautiful snaps man, the monochrome effect definitely adds to the icy feeling radiating from the images. I totally agree with the idea of winter vs beach shots, I love to visit the local beach for much the same reason, I love the contrast of what we imagine a beach to be when captured out of season.

We are very much on the same page about coming out of winter, I am 100% enjoying the first sunny days of spring and seeing the first signs of blossom on the trees and flowers are starting to peek out here and there, I have spent a little time doing light work in the garden to start preparing for a 'hopefully' long hot summer and also to get my fitness levels up a little. Sometimes winter feels so, so much longer than the other 3 seasons combined.

I love the shot with the jagged ice but agree wholeheartedly that the last one, the one you use often is pretty damn stunning, you really did take some:

some pretty sweet ass pictures... 😎

I wish I had a better eye for shot composition, I guess practice is key, your captures make me want to take my camera on walks more, maybe that should be a goal moving forward.

Wishing you and yours an awesome April and a fabulous summer to follow 😎🌞
