Virgin snow

Virgin snow


I love these mornings when we are the first people to put footprints on the trail!
But I think I’m going to need x-mode to get back down the hill when we leave!
Brrrrr!

Brrrrr!


Very cold this morning, 9° but luckily it’s not crazy windy too. The girls are in their warm Hurtta coats and have copious amounts of Mushers wax rubbed into their feet to stop the snow balling- and I’ve just ordered another big tub as with the temperatures forecast this snow is not going anywhere for a while!

It’s a beautiful, brisk, cold morning in the woods! A couple of inches of snow highlighted by early morning sunshine. Lots of deer and rabbit tracks but we are the first hikers around the loop this morning.

Took my Christmas present to the woods this morning 🙂

It wasn’t particularly cold, but for some reason B&W felt right for a lot of these. Here they are again, but in color, which set do you prefer?

Either way, I really like this lens! It’s pin sharp in the center and allows you to dial in the amount of swirly bokeh you want; I’ve probably gone a little overboard with it in a lot of these, but I’m learning it’s foibles and having fun 🙂

… in the back of the rental Hyundai Tucson I have while my car is in the shop after getting rear-ended just before Christmas. I don’t think the damage is too bad, but we have to wait for the other parties insurance adjuster to come and look at it before they can start the repair.

The Tucson is very nice (I had to insist on a larger rental than they were going to give me as I needed something that could haul the dogs around, and so they upgraded me to this), but I can’t wait to get my Crosstrek back!
