The Chute

Backyard Creek

Having to go to work does have a dampening affect on my photography time. Luckily I managed to grab a few images yesterday as I played in the creek behind the house. For now you may have to suffer through a few more slow water, long exposure, snow on the rocks images until I can get back out when there is light.

Backyard Creek

I guess not every morning can have a beautiful sunrise. I was hoping though… I settled for playing in the creek after grocery shopping. You can never take the kid out of the creek, or is it the creek out of the kid, or am I suppose to grow up? I forget what it is suppose to be. I just have fun exploring that creek behind the house. 😉

Oh man, I’m on fire. Or maybe I wish I was as it was a little cold this morning. Have I mentioned that I am really starting to dislike being cold? At least I have officially managed a streak… three days n a row! Still not venturing too far away from the house. But with views like this I guess I don’t need to travel far. One more day in this long weekend and hopefully I’ll get more adventurous tomorrow morning.

Just down the road from the house one of the hundreds of miles of snowmobile paths crosses the road. It is a nice way to venture back into the fields without wading through all the snow. Plus it provides a nice view for the rising sun.

I have been giving my old Sigma 17-70mm lens some well deserved love lately. The first lens I bought and learned on still manages great pictures. Thought I lost it earlier this year but a quick trip to the repair center pumped new life into it.

Winter Path

Can two in a row be called a streak? Second day I’m out early to capture some images before anyone else in the house is even thinking of waking up. I got luck today with the clouds disappearing overnight although we do have another winter storm advisory in effect for today. I have plenty of left overs so I can ride this one out… lol!
