A good day hiking

The other afternoon , I headed out with a fully charged camera and my dogs for a hike on my usual path ... the weather had been co-operating and I was hoping for a good day shooting , and some exercise.  I got some amazing shots , and got a TON of exercise when I got back to my truck to leave...  It had sunk into the heavy wet snow ,  2 hours of digging later I had to call a friend to give me a quick tow , as night had set in and I couldn't see anything .  lol Its all good , the pictures were worth it.

My boy Ramsey, he just loves to jump thru the snow banks,  its almost always away from me though.  

My other dog Monkey tried the same thing and didn't make it up !! lol  

Ramsey, posing for me .   

The sun co-operated , giving me an amazing sunset.  

I had to walk thru thigh deep snow drifts to get here lol

Amazing colours ! 

and crazy clouds.  

All that aperture/shutter practice is starting to pay off!!  

Its time to go home...

Well not really ,  it was almost another 3 hours after this one before I walked in the door , exhausted .   Shoveling heavy wet snow is insane.   At one point I managed to get myself moving ( I do own a 4x4 with knobby tires ) I went backward about 8 feet and thought i hit a tree.... but it was just the snow packing up behind me into a solid mass.  It was then I called my friend.
Have a great day , I hope you have enjoyed these pictures.

Today was a good day :)

Its my birthday today, and I was debating posting anything... but I had such a fun day shooting .. I just have to share a few pics with you,   they are all in chronological order starting at about 7am this morning when I let the dogs out, till around 8pm with my dinner at the Keg :) I think that will be my first food picture on here, which is really quite funny as I didn't cook it .  ( For those that don't know me , I also have a food blog. Links is at the bottom of this page ) So here you are , I hope you enjoy :))

Snow, Tracks , and my Truck

I hope you all like snow :)  Pretty much every picture from now until March will have it in there some where! We are just getting to the deep freeze portion of our winter,  temperatures will continue to drop for the next month.   The only bonus is the days are getting just a little longer each day . 

I hope you all enjoy , as always comments and editing suggestions are much appreciated.  ( These are all untouched shots ) 

A cold winters day

So much for global warming, as I type this half the planet is covered in snow :) An exaggeration I know ... but still I can not remember having this much snow in December before. I was watching BBC news last night, and even England and half of Europe are blanketed in the white stuff. I was going to post some warm and fuzzy pictures from summer, but another snow day seems more appropriate.
