What a lovely start to the day

This morning we shot this beautiful waterfall behind the hotel before breakfast, and before the tourists arrived. To be honest it was magical, still, quiet & utterly beautiful.  We will go back again tomorrow - it's always good to have another go once you've viewed the days efforts, so you can improve, try different angles etc.
The rest of the day was a rinse and repeat from the day before as we were hoping for big fat snowflakes against a particular group of trees. It snowed on us but it wasn't heavy enough.

Just down the road from where we were shooting is a gallery and garden that attracts HUGE numbers of tourists. The trees in the garden are stunning with huge clumps of snow in them but they are no good for art photographs; too cluttered, messy and absolutely heaving with people. The last 4 photos are from that garden to give you an idea - it's very pretty.
Please remember (Brent... this is aimed at you :-) these are unedited jpegs straight from the camera.
For non photographers viewing this; the difference in colours is the camera picking up different meter readings from the different compositions.
