Walking on a Snowy Day
…I started out in the morning when the snow was still light
I knew that as the snow accumulated throughout the day I was less likely to get out for my walk so I bundled up and headed out mid-morning. On the way as the snow started to accumulate on the plants and trees I stopped to take a few shots of the freshly fallen ice crystals.
RDP – Quest for the Perfect Shot

I’m always searching for the perfect or at least somewhat interesting photo when I’m out walking. On days like today when the temperatures have dipped below freezing and there’s a brisk wind in your face it’s uncomfortable taking off your gloves to shoot that perfect shot. I have come up with ways to warm up my hands when I put the gloves back on but I am definitely fussier as to what I want to photograph.
Today on my walk in the park I managed to get a shot of the beach closest to the park entrance. After taking my first photo a flock of geese took off in the sky and I managed to grab another shot. I wanted to get a photo of the bullrushes that were shaking off their fluffy seeds but the wind prevented me from getting a perfectly focused shot. In the end I decided that the shots that I had managed to get were fine for today and because I was in danger of slipping into the pond if I got any closer to the bullrushes the consequences could have been very bad for my health and longevity.

On my one of my walks this week I took a slightly different route and came across a home with these adorable bird house in their front yard. They are all different and I’m sure in the warmer weather they are more than decorative.

A Surprise Encounter on my Walk Today
….I was almost home when I saw these magnificent creatures one block over
I quickly walked towards the park when I spotted the mounted police heading in that direction. They stopped in front of one of the homes so that the owner could give the horses some apple and chat with the police. I also ran into a friend who was walking her lovely dog, Gaby. As long as the horses were still the dog was fine but as soon as they continued on their way she began to bark. You know when horses are well trained because the barking didn’t bother them one little bit.
