The Four Seasons, 2015 What was difficult about merging the four seasons into one photo was aligning the mountains in with the water and the base of the deck. I wish I had set a certain placement on the deck and remembered it for every time I went back to take another seasonal so I could easily see where I could adjust each photo according to the placement of the subjects. I feel as though it looks sloppy because there is no distinction between seasons either since each season on the lake looks similar--all water (except for winter snow), all trees, mountains, and sunny or cloudy skies. This is not a typical seasonal picture of a tree where four seasons specifically affect the setting. With a lake as a setting, it's a little hard to show.

The Four Seasons

The four seasons are a blessing--most of the time. I have the opportunity to experience extreme hot and cold temperatures and all the in-betweens. Although I have always personally loved summer the most, there are times when I appreciate the feel of the other seasons, especially winter. The benefits of the snow days, the cold and the holiday mix reminds me of memories of my childhood with my family, and the spring temperatures are perfect for sporting events. The four seasons mean that I can say I have experienced both extremes and can appreciate each one.
