Deja Vu

I got this lovely shot this evening just after the sun had set...  It was so surreal, the colors.  When I look at this shot up close on the computer, I can see the footsteps wandering off into the woods.  The cold light on the frozen river in the background to the shaded foreground is an interesting contrast. And the peachy glow of the cold setting winter sun.

 I snapped this shot from about the same position on my riverbank.  The colors were divine, and the icing emphasizes the big old tree.  The river was very close to breaking up, and the ice was gone in a week.

Which one do you like better?  The mysterious feel of the first one, or the cotton candy colors of the second?   Winter or Spring...
Remind me to redo these pics in Summer and Fall!
