The problem with photography as a hobby is that sooner or later everybody slips into a funk.   I’m there right now.   My unsorted folder of images has barely been touched because I just haven’t had the creative energy to take pictures.  Maybe this month will be different.

I guess it helps to explain that the snow had just recently fallen in my back yard during the night and this image was taken before the sun and win had managed to knock the snow off of the branches.  This is not award winning work.  Its not even good photography.  It breaks rules and doesn’t have a reason to do such.  It’s simply a quick snapshot, something for me to reference to my buddies that live in places that don’t get snow.  

When the snow showed up in PA this year in October with the trees still having their leaves on them I was rather disappointed as I had not yet to really get out and get into a good photo session.   And now it snowing,which is going to ruin the rest of the season as the leaves will fall fast.  (and they did by the way)  So I tried to make the best of the situation and take as many pictures as I could while it was snowing outside and then archive them until I was in the right frame of mind to process them for consumption.  Well I started that process on Jan the 9th and this is the first image from that collection that I worked on in earnest.  I’m not sure I like it yet but…. it has some qualities that I like so I’m posting it up… I hope somebody enjoys it.

Another image from my October photo-shoot that I was originally unsure about.   But now in January looking at the image I really like the mixture of colors.
