It's a Sugar Snow!

Isn't it gorgeous?!  I doubt we'll get the 6-8" predicted by the weather forecaster, but I'm thrilled that tonight the snow is falling in large, fluffy flakes and in an hour's time it has more than covered the ground.  This is probably the last snow of the season, the one that will cause the maple sap to run heavy, especially if we have cold nights and warmer days.  It's so beautiful!  I'm ready to be snowed in tomorrow.  I know I'm among the very few who thrill at snow in March.... 

Spring is really just around the corner.  She's playing hide-n-seek with winter.

Bison at Rest - Shadow Shot Sunday

I love how the lens of the camera caught

the atmospheric conditions that were not visible to my eyes.

When I take photos I focus on the subjects without noticing backgrounds, shadows, etc.  What happens between the subjects and surrounding environments and the camera lens soften turns out as a surprise.

This is a post for Shadow Shot Sunday.

Tips for Taking Better Blog Photos

I sometimes feel challenged when it comes to taking photographs to post on my blogs.  Ofttimes they're good enough but not great.  The lovely Holly at Bijou Lovely has written and illustrated a post, 10 Tips for Better Blog Photos, to help me (and everyone else who reads it) learn to take better photos.

She gives dos and don'ts, explains both, and uses photos to show us exactly what she means. She discusses light, perspective, background, layout, and more.

If you're photo-challenged like I am, you'll appreciate Holly's post.

Light - Seven Hours in One Image

I love watching how the light changes through the day, from morning to evening, from blue to golden. I thought this photo captured it very well (though I know it's probably been altered).

Do morning people love blue? My husband is a morning person and his favorite color is blue. But then don't most guys claim blue as their favorite color? On the other hand, I'm not a morning person and I don't like blue too much. I'm an afternoon/evening person and I love the golden evening tones of sunset (though not so much pure yellows). Do most night people prefer warm colors?

Is there a correlation between our peak time of energy and our color preferences? Hmmmm. What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by.
