Winter Road

Last winter was an exceptional one for hoarfrost. There were many days when the frost would blanket the trees and stay well into the day, sometimes even overnight. It was a winter wonderland!

I shot this picture in Winnipeg. I chose to go to an older part of the city, where the trees were plentiful and mature. The resulting images I took had beautiful canopies of frost covered branches reaching across the roads to meet.

I shot at a focal length of 27 with an aperture of f/8 and shutter speed of 1/200.

Once on my computer I cooled the tones even more than what was already present, which resulted in a blue tint to the snow and ice that I quite liked.

Beautiful Evening

It is such a beautiful evening. The sun is shining. There is a slight breeze. Mosquitoes have yet to make their grand entrance. It is lovely.

I just came back from a walk with my hubby. We went down the trail they've recently developed near our place and took it through the Bioreserve. When we crossed over the railway tracks we saw this little guy perched on the edge, just waiting to have his picture taken. He, too, was enjoying this fine spring weather.

How do you like to spend beautiful spring and summer evenings?
