What I've Been Doing While I'm Waiting For Spring

While I continue to wait for spring I'm trying to keep up my photography skills.  I'm finding the long cold winters here just too much.  Although I'm determined to find different ways to stay on top of the game.  Here are some shots I've taken since my last post.  I hope you like some of the creativity.

I'm also proud to say that the image above was aired on CBC Saskatchewan News in "Show Me Saskatchewan"  It's my very first win with my photography and I'm soooo thrilled.  This image was taken a couple weeks ago.  I couldn't sleep so I was up before dawn...and when dawn finally appeared I jumped towards the camera.  I love the light in this tree highlighting dawns light and frost on the branches.

Hoar Frost So Interesting And Beautiful

Hello everyone sorry about the delay in between posts, but Saskatchewan is a very extreme environment. You can have beautiful weather one day then a blizzard the next! Something I have never experienced before in my life. Moving out here from B.C has been an eye opener for sure. I was a pampered pet in Victoria B.C with temperatures never dipping below -5!!! Out here though I have already in NOVEMBER I might add experienced -23 without the wind chill factor. GREAT SCOTT that's cold...keeps me indoors let me tell you. Plus when I have gone outside in my many layers your face goes numb within 15 minutes, so I have to go in and out all day to get pictures that I would like to take, which of course takes up allot of time. In these next photos I would like to show you Hoar Frost...what is that you say???? Well apparently out on the Prairies they have this. The frost is sooooooooo thick it looks like snow, but it's not it's frost!!!! Something I have never heard of, but very common here. Enjoy these extreme photos!!! I think I managed to give you a variety to view. Have a fantastic day! Hugs Crista
