The I Have To Shoot What?! Challenge for Week 50: Winter

A friend and I went to the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge to try to find some snowy owls that have been spotted, but we had no luck unless you consider a tiny white blob in the dunes very far away success. However, we did find some amazing icing along the road on every fallen leaf and sprig of grass... It was absolutely the prettiest ice I've ever seen!

It was only 8°F at sunset today with a Dew Point of -6°F with a slight breeze out of the north making it feel like -5°F, definitely an icy cold sunset !

West Pond, Parsonsfield, Maine.

Winter does not officially start until December 21st but here in Maine it really starts when the ponds are frozen over, there is snow on the ground and temperatures hover in the freezing range at night, this winter has started early and the pond is frozen over, covered with snow and the night time temperatures have been visiting the mid to low 20's, seems we are off to a rocky start this winter for sure.

VT Barn - On the long drive home from Ottawa back to Pelham I was scouting all around for something to get a day pic. The day was a beautiful clear day with some pretty blue skies. I haven't been coming home the usual way since we moved to the southern part of NH because anyway you go now it's a further longer trip. I travel through northern VT and NY and cross over about an hour from Ottawa. I have to say Vermont always has some outstanding barns that I have captured passing through.

Sunset over Boston Skyline with Tobin Bridge Light Trails, Chelsea and Everett Foreground

Via Flickr:
I haven't seen many photos from this location, and it took more than a few hours of research to get this angle. Yesterday I went in the morning and I got kicked out by security, so I went back today at sunset with no problems. Boston skyline buffs probably recognize this view, but from my research it is somewhat rare. Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L.

Under this Thanksgiving Venus I was contemplating all of the many thing that I have to be grateful for and the one thing that rose to the top of that list and stood out among the rest was my family and good friends, wishing a very Happy Thanksgiving to all of you, my Flickr friends, enjoy the day !

Another November Sunset - Looking for shots has been a challenge lately...if I don't travel during the day it's a bit of a chore looking for things around the house to take photos of. Either that or another studio shot of my gear!! This here is Little Island Pond in Pelham, NH which is about 4 miles from my house but I had to travel a bit to get on the other side of the pond. All the roads that access the pond are private which makes it difficult to shoot. Anyway...this is the view that someone has every day.

The I Have To Shoot What?! Challenge for Week 47: Get Out And Shoot 4

This time, the get out and shoot challenge had me grasping for something to go find but I finally decided to go see a field of flags honoring our heroes (picture in outtakes below). This beautiful farm was next door to the location of the field and the sky was glorious...
