Snow fell twice the week between the holidays… about a foot Wednesday night and Thursday and another four inches or so on Friday night into Saturday.
Joan and I have been out on the snowshoes twice thus far. We have seen many tracks in the snow… moose, dear and many smaller animals.
The winter woods tend to be very quite, especially if the wind is not blowing. Perhaps, the most common sound is that of woodpeckers hard at work high up in the trees. However, on our first outing, we also heard coyotes nearby.
I have carried the new camera on both trips. I am slowly getting better about remembering to take the new camera with me when I leave the house but there is definitely an element of “old dogs and new tricks” in this!
The new camera is nice and light… easy to carry and stow. Having only a wide to “normal” lens for the V1 has made me realize how much normally I use a telephoto lens. It forces me to think (and look) in new ways… and that’s not bad!
All of these photos were taken between the 28th and the 31st.

Really caught the fire in the sky on New Year’s Eve! Glad you didn’t convert it to B&W.
so did the person with the yellow jacket just happened to ski past or was that someone you planted with the bright clothing? Great depth and look with the windblown sculpture. Any way you could draw out the white and tone down the gray look? Brimstone Corner has a the look of a fisheye as there is a little converging of the sides on my monitor. Feels cold!
So Santa got you a new camera?

Oh how he moaned when I got him up to look at the New Year’s Eve sunrise!
The person with the yellow jacket (me) got tired of waiting for the photographer. But now you’ve given him justification for taking my picture. I got mad at him and he said the colors were so nice!
And you might say that Santa got himself a new camera!
