Sometimes you don’t have to venture very far to find an interesting subject to photograph. These were taken in our front yard… a study of snow if you like. Because the temperatures have been warm enough to melt the snow, and then cold enough to freeze it again, the snow has these wonderful crystals on it!

This was the first photo of the day, and I think it turned out really well. It was a spot where my husband had stepped, but it made such an interesting structure, especially with the way the light was playing with it.

This was the top of a snow pile in the road, which also looked really neat with the sun shining on it. I like this one a lot because the sky behind it is so blue.

I liked the way the sun was shining through just little spots in the snow. I also really wanted to capture the way the snow crystals looked. Photographing snow is actually pretty difficult because the brightness from the snow tricks the camera. I think they turned out well though. Not as lovely as in person, but pretty close!

And now for my absolute favorite of the day, the piece of ice that was in our bird bath. My husband thought it would be neat to photograph, but he had no idea when he first picked it up that it had such great form. The ice coming off the sides especially… it reminded me of an ice sun!
