It might be the last day of winter but it tried to hang on with snow flurries all day.
A few Glimpses of our winter that didn't make the starting lineup but hopefully you may enjoy some of them.

For these shots i wouldn't have changed my position by anymore than 20 meters yet the background hills present very differently.
The light was my kinda light, they talk about the golden hour but within that hour there's often one short moment where everything pauses as if to rest.
Im often reminded of one of the lyrics from a Lewis Capaldi song ' and now the day bleeds into nightfall '

This morning there was a blanket of fog that took some hours to lift. Finally a hole that allowed this shot.
There's an unusual thin line of light that runs over the folds in the center of my photo.
