This photo was enhanced quite a bit in Picasa. In the original, the clouds had just the slightest tint of pink to them, so I decided to accentuate that a bit. I also kicked up the contrast and brought out the shadows to make the trees "pop" better against the snow.
By the way, we got even more snow this weekend. It's almost March, and we still have snow. I can't believe it. Oh well. I'm just quietly biding my time until spring, eagerly awaiting the return of the Eastern Phoebe to our woods and the bloom of the Mayapple "forest".

Heather, your image of the snowy trees against the pink sky is spectacular! Congratulations on your inclusion in the top 50. Nice!
The pink sky is beautiful. We have snow, again, too. But I am starting to see lots of bird pairing up.
But, of course, Heather! And you should be proud of yourself. I'm proud for you. Great winter shot, but I liked the hopeful pictures that followed! ~karen
Beautiful and congratulations!!

Congratulations! That's wonderful news. I love the winter photo, too. The beauty of snow-covered trees never gets old.
Friends, thank you so much for your kind words. It is because of your visits and comments that I am encouraged to keep taking photos and narrating about what I see and feel and sharing it here on Heather of the Hills. I appreciate you all!
Oh, Heather, I'm so excited for you!!! Well deserved, my friend.
The pink sky picture is lovely. And that is the way it can look in real life, so I appreciate your edits. And oh, the Mayapples...can't wait to see them again!
Meg - Thank you!! Our "yard" is blanketed in Mayapples each spring - it's such a wonderful sight.
Congratulations, Heather!
Your blog is a favorite destination, and the honor is richly deserved.
