Snow

I wanted to take a photo of the snow using the "good" camera, but I didn't want to get it wet, so I just stood in the doorway to the deck and snapped a few shots. I did some manual and some auto but didn't keep track of which ones were which – though it was obvious on a few! – so I am not certain about this one... and I did a bit of minor editing in iPhoto anyway. :) I would hardly call this one of my best photos, but I like that I can see the snow flakes falling.

@lissuhllama Thanks! This is probably the best I have ever had them as far as the close ones, anyway.

@bk12racing Thank you so much... :)

@grammyn Wow! 2 favs on this... Remember the discussion we had about why someone favs a photo that we don't think is all that good? Well, this was one of those. :)

@4stories Thank you ever so much! You are such a fabulous photographer, I truly treasure this fav! :)

@peterdegraaff Thanks... but if you see one of my other snow shots you will see why I'm not totally enamored of snow! :) http://365project.org/marilyn/fun-fotos/2012-01-19

You could have said it was UFOs in a snowfall. I was trying to figure out the big white balls and then I read. LOL

[Marilyn Wigen]

@after12 LOL!

@hjbenson Thanks... I hadn't noticed that, but it does! :)

[Sara]

Beautiful shot! And I very much enjoyed your comment in the things I hate thread. As a newbie it was nice to read. Thanks!

[Elizabeth]

This is beautiful! I like how you captured the snow flakes. someone was telling me to capture the flakes, to use your flash. I, too,

[Marilyn Wigen]

@sgoodin1 Thanks... and thanks! :)

@elizabeth264 Thank you... :) Now that you mention it I think I have heard that about the flash and snowflakes. I should try that... I bet it works great at night... and we still have snow falling... but I really am not very motivated right now... :)

This is postcard pretty! You are right...what a difference in your weather and mine today. Try to stay warm!

@boycotting Thanks, Justin! :)

@wannabe Thank you... After doing a round of shoveling, I am staying in the house with the pellet stove going and my electric mattress pad will be calling my name pretty soon! :) Though the shovel may beckon again before that. :(

I haven't seen snow in over 20yrs so this is wonderful for me! I love the way the tree frames this shot and the snow flakes really do make this something special!

[Elizabeth]
