Snowy Photo Shoot

This morning I just couldn't resist getting bundled up and heading outside with my camera for a snowy photo shoot.  It was still pretty cloudy, and the wind was quite brisk, but I ventured outside to capture some pictures of this beautiful Michigan winter.   

Initially I walked out to the road to drop something in the mailbox and couldn't resist this shot of the angry clouds mixed with just a tad of blue sky.



A shot of our home nestled under a blanket of snow.



A touch of winter art in my front garden.


Off to the woods.


Fence rows are always interesting photo ops.


Was hoping to catch sight of a few deer, as there were footprints leading everywhere!  Obviously they were resting after a full night of playing in the fresh snow.


I've taken a lot of pictures of this very spot. With each change of season it remains beautiful.


The truth is, I didn't make it back too far.  Our property is 1/2 mile deep, and I only made it about three quarters of the way, the snow was pretty deep to walk in.  Since I'd forgotten my cell phone, and I'm not a youngster anymore, I trudged back to our little house in the country.

Look at the tummy on this Red-Bellied Woodpecker, I think we must be feeding them well.


I wish I knew what this bird was.  Haven't seen him around before. 




So, that was my exciting morning photo shoot.  I certainly didn't stay out more than about a half hour, I'm just not much for being outdoors in the winter.  But I did want to take a peek at all the fresh snow and share the pictures with family and friends.  I hope you enjoyed them.

Thanks for stopping by today!
