A Winter Neighborhood Walk



Some mornings are very cold in Colorado but we are lucky enough to have the sun shining most days, which makes it "feel" warmer, at least psychologically. My dogs, the hound and the Aussie, will not let me skip their favorite part of a day. They sit expectantly at my feet in the studio until I relent. I'm usually very eager to join them outside, but his particular morning was colder than most and I was not looking forward to it. Making the best of it, I threw my camera around my neck, grabbed the leashes and off we went. Here are a couple of shots walking through our new neighborhood from that morning.

It's not the Arctic and she isn't doing a jazz dance, but this woman was getting ready to wave and to pet my dogs on a very cold morning in Colorado.

  2. I will ditto what Kalei said. I love the shadow of the tree on the snow. And the woodsy and natural colors are great.

    Great shot of the woman, too. If it were me, I'd want to hang it in my house for an occasional smile at how I looked.

    1. Thank you Anita! I often walk past that tree. It's at the end of my street. I usually don't give it a second look, but that day there was something magical about the light. I'm like a moth to a flame. lol I'm also trying to shoot more people. Glad you like the woman walker. Cheers!

    1. Thank you Debi! The tree is a ponderosa pine. They normally don't have such low branches, but this one was perfect for the angle of my shot.
