To close out the “finding color in winter” week, I still think red barns with blue sky is the best color you can find in the white winter.
Red, White & Blue

Some of the oak trees are trying to hang on to autumn as long as possible, and so they provide a little color in the white winter.

Sometimes only the sky provides the color in the winter time, from a blue sky during a clear day or from a colorful sunset.
Colorful sunsets makes me think of a warmth embrace from a friend that gives you peace and comfort.

The snow has stopped and the wind has blown some of the snow off the trees but you still have to look around to find any color besides white. Even some of the big boy toys are fairly white too.

The only color one can see today will be the man toys clearing the snow as even the pine trees are white. But since I don’t have a ‘big boy toy’ to clear my driveway and there is a lot more snow to remove than what is in this picture, the green color of my little toy will be white with the wind blowing the snow and since I have no cozy cab on my snow-blower I will be white too!
More White

There are not too many red wildflowers and red is not too common in the winter either, unless you catch a glimpse of the Northern Cardinal. Although some people might chew out the cardinal out for bringing the snow, I think the cardinal is just smarter than some people and will stock up on food before the snow flies. And the snow has started to fall today so I wonder if the cardinal stocked up enough.
During courtship, the male feeds seed to the female beak-to-beak, but I bet he wants to be waited on once the honeymoon is over!

While there are no yellow flowers in the winter time, there are other things besides the sun that are yellow and orange which pop out from the white snow, even if they might be old and rusty.

The sun came out today and while the ground is still white, at least the sun brightens what color there is and it is nice to see blue sky again. But that did mean a nippy night as there was no clouds to hold the heat in but that is the price you have to pay for a clear sky in the winter.

Boy did my mini-vacation fly by in a blink of an eye! And I didn’t even take a picture those three lost days of February.
There is a hint of sun but it hasn’t been able to break through the clouds yet and if it does, the ground would still be white so I need some purple and green for today’s picture and the field of lupines fit the bill.

I’m trying to imagine blossoms on this tree since there are hints of white as a friend of mine has been telling me of her almond blossoms and how pretty they smell right now but it’s not working because all I smell is cold and I feel the cold too.
It might be a fun tree to climb in the summer but one would get a chilly butt climbing it now.
(I will be taking a mini vacation so I won’t be posting any pictures on February 29, 30 or the 31st.)
