I think it's time for something other than snow on here! The weather has been absolutely AMAZING for this time of year. Yesterday, on the first day of Spring, I saw people cutting grass. I couldn't smell it because of this wretched cold I have. But oh the sights and sounds of Spring! Everything was so glittery with dew this morning, I had to try and capture a little bit of it. :)

A boy and his dog. :)

I've never seen a dog that loves snow so much! It's hilarious. I suppose could take a lesson from him! And a couple more from earlier.... I sure wish I would have gotten some right after Cameron found him. I'm not sure  who was happier, Cameron with the puppy or the puppy with all the attention. :)

I wanted to post a few from Durrel and Lori's session. We had fun even though it was cold and Lori had to rescue me from my soaking wet feet! I discovered my boots were most certainly not for practical purposes. :D

Thank you guys for trusting me with this important event! Many happy days as you prepare for the big day and the beginning of the rest of your life together! :)

Two favorites from this week!

Just some shots from today- braving the cold. I hope to regain feeling in my toes! :-D It's the first time I was successful capturing snowflakes! So fragile looking and beautiful. The tiny specks are from the metallic paint on the truck.

I think need to focus more on the beauty of winter and  little less on the cold and wind. :)

Who knew that getting macro shots of water drops in poor light could be so hard? I will not say how much of my time it consumed this afternoon. (But hey, I forgot about this horrid stomach bug for a while!)

Upside down reflections of the Christmas tree! :)

Day 30

And here is yesterday's post. Sorry, it's a bit more than one photo again! I took off with my camera towards evening, not sure that I would find much of anything in the dead and snowy landscape. I was uninspired and planned to 'just shoot something' from the warmth and dryness of the van. But I did find something, tucked away in the corner of a parking lot, and I felt like God had it there just for me. Such gorgeous colors! Winter may be coming- but it will go again! I know, bad place to live if you don't like Winter. But Steve lives here. :)

 I really wanted to just lay on the ground under the tree and soak it up till it disappeared! But my coat would have done plenty of soaking up too...

I kept walking...

And finished off with this! Walking around in the cold and snow in flip-flops made it necessary. :)
