A Snowy Day

A little while ago we had a beautiful wet snow fall. The camera was still fairly new, so I was excited to try it out and experiment a little.

We had a beautiful sunrise that morning. I enjoyed the pink colors in the trees.

This picture and next one are of our neighbors yard. I wondered if they saw me with my telephoto lens pointed at their house. :)

I really had fun with the telephoto lens. And I love the way the wet snow sits on the branches of the trees and bushes.

This picture and the next were me being excited about bokeh (I learned that word from the The Pioneer Woman). This is the walkway leading up to our house.

And this is just the light in our front yard. So, not so exciting to see our across-the-cul-de-sac neighbor’s house and 5th wheel, but the idea that we have a camera that can do this – wow!

This picture is focused on our fence, with our neighbor’s white fence in the background.

And here’s the same view focused on the white fence. I absolutely love this “peeking” through view. I’d like to practice with this more.

Another peeking through picture.

Another bokeh picture.

And Tiger enjoying the snow.

So I really have had such a good time taking pictures! I think I love the camera! I have some more posts highlighting the camera coming up – basketball, the capitol building, and a photo shoot of the kids! I think they’re starting to get used to the camera being around more. :)
