Lentil And Split Pea Soup
This easy-to-make and wholesome soup is especially nice to serve for a fall or winter family meal. The combination of split peas and lentils gives this vegetable soup a nice texture, especially once it is blended until smooth.
“A Little Before Sunrise”
An early winter morning done just as the sky is lightening and the sun begins to warm the landscape.
“Fallen Tree”
A winter scene that’s really about weak light and contrasting light shadows.
