The First Snow of 2011

Ah, well winter is definitely here. And today, I've been sitting recovering from shoveling and snow blowing all day yesterday. So I figured, what better way to spend my time than to try out some new features in Lightroom, and edit a lot of the photos I took today and yesterday, all while having the heating pad on my back! Both days were absolutely beautiful for some winter photos. Granted trudging through 18 inches of snow was hard, but the end product was well worth the soaking wet boots. Yesterday after the snow subsided, it was so peaceful and quiet out in the woods. And today, the birds were chirping bouncing from tree to tree, and in some instances, loosening up enough snow to almost come down on me. I love the white snow and the blue sky. Something about the fresh snow that makes the sky look that much more blue.

Anyways, enjoy the photos! And stay warm too!

The Last Snow of 2010

Ahh the last snow storm of 2010. Thank goodness Dad brought home the snow blower, or there wouldn't be any photos. It was really Tobey's first time in the snow too. He was very curious and always had his nose in the snow trying to find something. Something about the first snow of the winter always makes everything in the town look peaceful and calm. It's too bad that the snow is pretty much all melted away now...tear... oh well, there will be more, and soon enough I'll be in Maine snowmobiling. Anyho, enjoy the photos, and make sure you check out the website where you can buy prints. (http://jeff-porter.fineartamerica.com) All prints are starting at 8 bucks. If you want a photo from the blog and it isn't on the website, let me know and I can put it on. Happy New Year! Hopefully I'll be able to post more than I did last semester!
