Since yesterday the temps have been very mild and the snow has been melting and dripping .
We started out with very light snow very fine it was then it stopped after a couple of hours .
Then Miggs and I went for our walk this morning after I started my laundry . It has been cloudy for most of the morning but I noticed the sun is trying to shine through the damp low cloud .When we got back I went around and took photos .
I like to practice with my camera and just get out there and get lost in the beauty and sounds of the valley whilst I am photographing . All my photos are taken in raw so if I want to adjust them or enhance them I can . I like to use my 55-300 mm zoom lens a lot and on auto focus, my camera is always on manual . I keep my lens on auto focus as I take a lot of movement / action shots and it focuses on the subjects faster then manual focus .
Practicing my depth of field with the fence!
A light covering of snow hangs on the balance as the temps warm up !
Oh I see a bit of blue sky over there , with a bit of luck the clouds will disappear
and the sun will shine !
This little guy was watching me !
I love our big maple tree when it has a dusting of snow on it’s bark !
This beautiful maple tree is over 150 years old and is huge !
As I sit here typing , my laundry is on spin and dryer has just beeped it is done , Papa is learning some more settings in photo shop, he already is amazing with the program , Miggs is beside us here in the computer room snoring , Harley is snoozing in her cat bed , the clocks pendulum's are tick toking away , there is the sound of melting snow dripping down the down spouts , sounds of birdies every where chirping and the sun has almost broken through the low overcast cloud . A sunset would be nice this evening . Fingers crossed lol !
Linking up with My Little Home And Garden for Sunlit Sunday
Until next time friends !

cute junco. we have rain falling today (yay! after none in january) but it is due to turn to snow as the temps go below freezing.
Is sounds like a spring day there today! lol It's mild here after about 8 cm. of snow overnight and it's melting a bit. The snow was really sticky, great for snowmen. Enjoy your Sunday afternoon. Are you watching the big game on TV? We aren't. We're not sports fans at all.
It sounds as though you have had a lovely day! Your new header picture is great too!! One day I will work out how to do that! xx
Beautiful and fun day.
We are getting a good snow here.
Have a great evening.
Enjoy looking at your scenery pictures, sweet Junco, Blessings Francine.
On some days, the sunlight is neither absent nor bright, but just showing a subtle presence.
All of the photos are well done, but the old maple tree is fantastic. Wouldn't it be something if it could tell us some of what it has seen in the last century and a half.

You have some wonderful captures with the snow. Always so much to learn with Photoshop!
Lovely wintery shots!
Your big old oak tree is pretty with a dusting of snow.
Have a wonderful week,
Cindy
Wonderful shots
The lack of bright and varied colours in the winter really shows up the bones of the landscape. I love these shots.
I hope you got your sunset!
The snow can make the landscape look so beautiful. Good job with your camera. It's fun to experiment, isn't it?
The snow does make the landscape look very nice. You did a good job with your camera. Your photos are very nice. I like to experiment with my camera too (I think I should take a photography class to learn more about what I can do with my camera).
