Conifers in Winter
I’m going to consider this my practice image! I have had this image in my head ever since the snow started falling here in Central NY. I keep seeing this grove of conifers with their branches covered and the sun catching everything in the early morning. There was actually one moment already this year where the scene was almost as I envisioned but I was unable to capture it before it disappeared.
The January thaw didn’t help my chances but the snow we just received has re-sparked my desire for this image. It still is not “right” since there is not enough snow on the branches of the trees but it is getting closer. Saturday morning the sun was doing its part but by the time I walked down to the field the clouds decided my walk would be in vain. I did take the opportunity to check out the possible views in the field and from various locations along the road. I’ll be ready when the snow completes my image!
For now another entry in my Monochrome Winter series…

Trail Safety
My exploration of Rockefeller State Park Preserve was really just a tease for me. I’m thinking I will need to return either during the summer or the fall to see what else this park has to offer. Plus in the few hours that I was there I was able to only walk through about a third of the trails. It is a wonderful place that will be calling to me as the seasons change.
I came upon this fire hydrant along one of the trails and I couldn’t resist capturing an image. There is a theme over on Google+ called Fire Hydrant Friday which I have been having fun contributing to which probably had a part in my decision to raise camera to eye…
Another image for my Monochrome Winter series…

Assignment 23: Winter
Scott Thomas, a fellow CNY photographer, hands out assignments every other month on his Views Infinitum blog. The current assignment due tomorrow is Winter (Assignment 23: Winter). Of course when Scott assigned this task we were at the start of a January thaw here in Central NY. But that should not have mattered because what he was actually looking for was what winter means to you, which does not necessarily involve snow.
I have quite a few images that I would classify as winter and would work for this assignment but last night as I headed out to shovel the driveway it finally hit me, what winter means to me is shoveling. There are a few tasks that I actually look forward to around the house. Not because I enjoy them but because they provide me that alone time where my body does the chore without much thought from my brain and my brain wanders through lots of different topics. During the summer mowing the lawn provides me with the same opportunity.
I ran back inside, grabbed the camera and created this image. It is a long exposure that I stepped out of half way through because like I said, my body does the chore but my mind is elsewhere…
