Winter

Before I begin, a reminder regarding the poll to the right above the music player: please take it! I have several answers already (thanks to those who partook!), but more is always better. Please :). See the post prior to this one for the full question.

After a long line of portrait-related posts, I bring you some mother nature! Woo hoo. These are all from my Christmas "break" (if you call 4 days off a break). The first day we had just experienced an ice storm. The second day it was snowing like crazy, which was quite the challenge. The third day things were clear, and I believe I like that better, lol. I won't be taking many more photographs in the middle of a snowstorm unless I have a large umbrella over the camera and a built-in heater on the lens (ooo, idea! j/k).

Day 1:






Poor penguin :(

Day 2:











Day 3:

Various shots of the creek:







They call it "magic hour" for a reason:









You know what the worst thing about this was? My butt. I crouched down for several shots, and being that we had 6-8 inches of snow, my butt inevitably ended up with some snow on it. Brrrrrrr.
