This weeks them for my photography groups 52 week challenge is LOVE!   Perfect week for it, isn't it?  

So many things mean 'love' to me....my husband, my son, my family, my pets, my photography, music, sunshine, nature, light, and so many more. 

As you know, we've had our share of snow and gray gloomy days here in Connecticut.  It's been a tough month.  We have had probably close to 4  ft. of snow just in the last few weeks and temperatures this week have been -15 to a balmy 20 degrees and we have 60 MPH winds today.

But the other day, the sun came out.  It made all of the difference in the world.  Even with the snow and cold temperatures, there was something about that glowing ball of orange and yellows in the sky that lifted my spirits.  It seemed 'warm'.   As I came home that afternoon, I saw the sun setting across the street and it gave everything a warm glow and sparkle.  I knew I wanted to use that scene for my LOVE theme photo, but how?.....then it hit me.  With candy canes still left over from Christmas, I created a heart.  And this is the result....

You can see a little bit of the sparkle in the snow and almost feel the warmth of the sun.  Of course, I ended up kneeling in the snow, almost up to my waist to get this shot, but it was worth it.  :)

Please take a minute to see what my friend Megan chose as her LOVE image for this week, and keep the blog love going!!  She'll have a link to another photograher, then she'll have a link, etc.     Check her out here:  http://www.megan-edwards-photography.com/week-7-love-52-week-photo-project-delaware-ohio-photographer/
