Winter 

Spring 

Some more photos from the day after our big snowfall. These were taken early in  the morning, it was heavily overcast making it difficult to capture sharp detail on a moving target, I played a bit in PS to enhance the contrast and sharpness. Any suggestions on better settings for my camera in these conditions or other enhancements from the ps program is always appreciated.

Big change today... the Sun came back!  This weekend we are supposed to be back in the 60's.... so the snow will be a fond memory and soon give way to soggy ground and mud.....

It looked like we might have an accumulation when I stopped to pick up the mail. The floodlights revealed that it was still falling before I went to bed Night 016 Night 017. By morning, though, it was mostly gone, only clinging to the Cold Stone in the pet cemetery and  Beebe's favorite perch.

I stayed after school yesterday to get some shots of our swim team for the yearbook. When I came outside it was snowing. Finally, the first real snow of the season in Philly. Ever since I bought my camera last June, I couldn't wait to take some shots of the snow. This is a picture of our main administration building, Austin Hall.Austin Hall  We have just completed the construction of a new arts center, the first classes were held there just this past week. The new Arts Center You will not see any of the swim team pictures because they were terrible! (the pics, not the team)

These are just some fun shots I played with yesterday.  You don't need to vote - they were just for fun.

This photo is as fresh as the newly fallen snow on the top hat of my frosty back yard inhabitant. I took this just ten minutes ago. The weather forecast is calling for several more inches yet today.

It is January so I thought that I should shoot some snow pictures.  Just a few...

 The Upper Midwestern Winter has been uncharacteristically snowy this year when compared to December/January of the previous decade or so. The downside, of course, is the constant cleanup but the upside is the opportunity to capture a scene like this in Green Bay's Baird Creek Parkway.

Snowed  all day today...

After a big snowfall, the deer come down from the mountains in Colorado.  Had to take this with a high iso.
