Winter light

There is nothing like photographing with natural light, especially winter light. Since all the trees are now naked outside of our bedroom, we get the most glorious winter light streaming in.
All the shadows that are cast, are so interesting to me........
it becomes quite graphic I think.......
or just calming....
Our kitchen is on the same side of the house as our bedroom, so it too gets all the pretty winter light.
Beautiful lemons my mother in law gave us, aren't they gorgeous?! (Thanks Joan)
My little napkin holder, that has made an appearance on here before, always casts a lovely shadow.

What are you favorite times of the year for natural light in your area? Here in northern California, I would have to say my two most favorite times of the year would have to be fall and winter. Here in the fall, there is a crystalline look to the light.
But, by far the most gorgeous places for natural light, for me anyway, would have to be first Sweden, then Scotland.You just can't take a bad picture there, it simply takes your breath away!
