Goodbye to Winter!

14Mar15

I had the same title on a post last year at this time so I guess now it is tradition. In this scene I am reminded how I meant to get out there and photograph the ice more than I actually did. It seemed that every time it snowed the timing was not right or I was committed elsewhere. Adding to the challenge was the record cold temps… the coldest since 1967 they say. It sounds like excuses I know and maybe it is! Now, with the first day of spring this Friday, March 20 I am feeling renewed enthusiasm to get outside with my camera. Welcome spring!

  Thanks Ralph … man was it ever cold that morning. At sunrise the coyotes stopped howling and the snow geese started squawking.

Getting out to shoot in the winter seems so much more attractive as we approach better (warmer) weather. I’m getting ready myself for another great shooting season.

  It seems more attractive from the comfort of our warm homes too! Happy spring shooting!

Very nice image, one of the best examples of a leading line that I’ve seen. And the transition of color from the cold blue of the frozen lake to the warmer tones of the sky really tell the story of the changing season.
