Is It Safe To Come Out?

Posted by Mike on

Monochrome Winter

I went for a quick walk around the house and neighborhood this morning after shoveling the driveway. I hadn’t been out with the camera in quite a few days and the new snow was very inviting. Sitting here writing this post and I notice the sun is trying to make an appearance. If it can push through the clouds I am going to hop in the car and find some more winter wonderlands to capture.

The image below is of my neighbor’s horse Sonata, who I have featured before on this blog. She is always curious when I get close to her pasture but I think the cold kept her close to the barn and a little hesitant to venture outside. I thought this would make a nice addition to my Monochrome Winter series…

Holiday Bed-n-Breakfast

I should probably label this a test as I hope to return on a not so snowy night to get a clearer image of my neighbor’s bed-n-breakfast. I was walking down to the corner to get an image of the historic church’s front door for the latest theme but I couldn’t pass up this view. I forget how nice my neighbor decorates his house for the holidays. Too bad there was some flurries in the air but I’m sure I’ll be able to get a better night to improve this image.

Winter White

I guess I can’t fight it any longer… winter is here. Time to start refreshing the Monochrome Winter series I started last year. I went for a short walk around the neighborhood yesterday to get me started. Here is a small conifer in my neighbor’s yard. I always love the look of these when there is snow on the branches.
