Don't Hide From Winter

The high temperature for the day after Thanksgiving didn't even break the freezing mark! No doubt about it, winter is moving closer every day. Out door activities are a good way to add a little joy and motivation to venturing outside on a winter day, when hiding out inside where it is cozy and warm seems much more inviting. Skating, cross country skiing and snow shoeing have all been part of my winter activity list through the years.

I'll be the first to admit that getting out to take pictures is much tougher in January than it is in July, but if I am heading out anyway for another activity, then I just make sure my camera is in hand. Ice and snow and the occasional wild creature who crosses your path while on a winter trek can make for interesting picture taking. Don't let the cold temps or a few inches of snow cut you off from the joy of winter photography. Just bundle up and do it!
