Deer tracks. I've seen so many deer this week, but they always come out in the evening when it's too dark.
Downy Woodpecker
Grouse
(if you click on this one, you can actually see ice crystals in the air above the trees)If you don't mind -25 degrees celsius (not including the wind chill),
your lens fogging up, and not to mention losing sensation in all small appendages, then Alberta winter is Glorious!!!
By the way, holding metal objects, (ie. a camera) is a sure way to truly experience what it is to be COLD .brrr. brrr. brrr.
Here's a look at an abridged version of my very chilly week.
Of course, today I didn't bring my camera on the car ride to drive my niece and nephew to school; I was kicking myself while the sun rose (yes... I've been taking them before the sun actually rises), and an incredible SUN DOG almost blinded me! The ice crystals in the air glistened as the sun's rays passed through them emitting etherial glowing colors.
I got home, left the car running, grabbed my camera and headed out to the country roads for my final day of shooting here. :)
I have to admit, I'm looking forward to Vancouver's civilized climate.
So so so breathtaking! You are so good! I love your composition!!! These look almost delicious!
ReplyDeletesoooo glad you came so we could escape the cold even if it was just for a few days. I of course see something else beyond that natural beauty of your pictures. That would be no mitts on Michele (at least she covered her head) Will didn't even do up his coat (guess he has enough hair right now that a toque would be redundant) and probably only wearing running shoes..... xoxoxoooxoxoxooxxo Cath
