last Sunday [of 2012] this Sunday [today]

post #118

     
       The sun is shining!  So what am I doing inside??  For one thing, I am settling in at home after eight days away.  For another, now that we don't have to be driving long distances, I am getting used to enjoying the snow we've finally had here in eastern Kentucky.   
      Snow is hard for the photographer me.  I am rarely satisfied with the color seen in my photos of snow, so it is tempting to change everything to black and white.  But I don't do that often -- which translates to "I don't do it particularly well."  
       However, I woke up yesterday totally thrilled by the view from my window.  Snow had arrived during the night, and it was still snowing.  I decided to jump up and take photos from windows while the light stayed wonderful and the snow had not yet blown off the branches.  And now I can try these photos out on this blog -- and learn from them.  Four of them are shown with my version of black and white.

May your 2013 be filled with wonders.      Ann
