Winter is Here!

It's no suprise to those living in the Boise area - winter is here! We had some cold, snowy days during the Christmas holiday. But that's no reason to put the camera down and curl up with a good book. Well, maybe that's not a bad idea either, but first things first: this is a great time to look for interesting pictures in the ice. If you enjoy nature photography during the warmer months, try going out during the winter too! Nature photography is a specialty of its own, but it is similar to wedding photography in one regard: watching for little details can make for great pictures. Below are a few things that caught my eye while wandering in the snow.



On this day my goal was to find interesting arrangements of leaves in ice. Quite often the leaves are scrambled and broken, but after some searching I did find some cool shots:







A different day had me looking for interesting patterns in the ice itself.



Small, icy streams can yield suprises too:





Thanks for stopping by, and have a great New Year!

Cheers,
