Focusing on Life:Sihlouette

Our Focusing on Life this month is minimalist. This weeks prompt is silhouette. Take a picture into the light and get a silhouette. I chose to use the trees in my front yard. I like them silhouetted against the sunset. The little bit of color adds to the photo for me. Even though it was really cold here I went out several days and took photos. To see the other participants silhouettes please visit Sally's blog at http://thestudiosublime.com/

    1. Thanx Diana I am glad that you like my photo. It was really cold -50 to -60 wind chills. The coldest days we have had in 20 years was last week.
