Winter Beauty?

The light is different. There's always"the" day around this time of year that suddenly looks a little brighter, even if it's cold with a thick cloud cover - the sun is a little higher, the shadows (when you can see any) are a little more defined - it's hard to describe, but the FEEL is different! And yes, our days are already 50 minutes longer than they were a month ago, too - and while it's not real noticeable yet, if we do have an rare evening without clouds, it makes quite an impact on us!
i'm trying...i really am. The sun was out yesterday, and the Porcupine grass was catching some of the late afternoon rays, so i was moved enough to take a few photos. Looks nice enough, you can't tell it's only 15 degreesF, can you?
Even a little blue sky can help this time of year, it brings out what little colors there are in the dead of winter.

Looking out into the Florida room (the name of which makes me laugh THIS time of year - it's not usually heated, so it sure doesn't FEEL like Florida!). i can almost fool myself into thinking it's a warmer time of the year, but i can't keep out of the back of my mind that any of these pictures would look 100% better if they were taken in June! 

All in all, it's my favorite day of January - The LAST one!
