Neighbor's House

We're getting more snow this evening -  the neighbors house is always gorgeous this time of year.  We added some greenery and Helen added the red bows - God added the snow...

Do I have too?

On a good day I'm not a fan of taking out the garbage, but - when I have to shovel, and then clear the container and THEN take the garbage out I really don't like it. I just heard the "weather lady" say something like 6" to 10" - oh joy - where is SPRING!!!!!!!!!!!!! (PS) To my friends on the East Coast there's more coming....

Snow Fence

This snow fence has gotten a work out this winter - and from what I hear of the forecast for the next couple of days it will have additional snow to catch.

Abandoned White TRUCK

I saw this abandoned white TRUCK in back of the Methodist church in Sperry, Iowa. The white on white with a clear blue sky caught my attention.

I read a quote today from Ansel Adams, "There are always two people in every photograph. The photographer and the viewer." I will remember that as I look through the viewfinder.

Drift

This is a view of the 4 foot drift in front of the house. The wind does make some awesome structures - glad I don't have to shovel this one.

A Cold WInter Day

A Cold winter day - I kinda like the beauty of winter (as long as I don't have to be outside very long). It looks like we're going to have 6 more inches of beauty by Thursday.
(Photograph taken with my iPhone) - is that cheating?

Last Post of 2009 - 365 of 365

A snowy night last night. I love how the snow flakes show up when a flash is used. I would have loved to have shot a sunrise this morning and end the year as I started it by posting a sunrise - however, I know the sun came up 'cause there's daylight - but, no orange or yellow cast in the sky - just grey...

Snowy Tunnel

I was driving around yesterday and came across this view - a gorgeous winter tunnel. Winter may be cold - but it does provide some beautiful opportunities for photographs.

I also caught a glimpse of an eagle - I was driving the wrong type of vehicle to get any closer, so using my 400 mm lens I took this photo of what appears to be a female eagle. I'm still looking for that perfect eagle photo, but this is a start (at least I saw one).

After the Storm

Our concrete frog was buried during the blizzard... Still smiling though...


I believe he's much happier now that he can see...
