I know, I’m really late with this post.  I have a good excuse though, really!  OK, so it isn’t that great but we did go out of town to a place with no internet connection so I at least have that.

I did go out on Saturday morning and get some nice pictures with the snow still on the ground.  I had an idea and I think it turned out OK.  Ever since I started this 365 project I have had this thought in the back of my mind and it finally made it out to a place I could find it.  It was a part of a quote that I eventually had to look up on the internet, but I feel it sums up my philosophy for my project.

“Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.” – Greg Anderson

My idea for the picture to accompany this quote was to photograph my foot steps in the snow.  Luckily for me the snow we received on Thursday/Friday had not melted yet.  It took quite a few tries to get the picture I wanted.

The difficulty for me in taking this picture was keeping my own shadow out of the frame. Now that I think about it I should have brought out the tripod and placed it farther away while using a little zoom.  Next time I’ll know better.

I also made it around to all the ice and icicles still fighting for survival in the rising temperatures.  Some turned out pretty nice but I really liked this one I found on the fence post.  There is just a lot of interior texture to catch the morning sun.

I did try to go out in the evening once we were settled in at the family’s farm but the sunset was uninteresting and   my attempts just didn’t cut it.
