Tramping around the woods yesterday I found a lot to photograph. The light is amazing at this time of year. (It's actually late autumn light, but with the trees all leafless, it just seems more like winter.)
Thanks for the kind comments, folks. As to the time of day...it was somewhere between 3PM and 4PM. The sun was at a very acute angle and I was shading the lens with my hand in addition to the lens hood that was already on it. I was so absorbed in shooting before the light was lost that I wasn't aware of much else (including stepping into some swampy muck I hadn't bothered to notice).
