We took the kiddos to the wildlife refuge for the annual winter open house. There was a nice layer of frost on all the trees, which makes for good photographic opportunities.

This gas station is within ten minutes of my house. I’ve lived for eight years in this area and never took a photograph of it until last week.

Sometimes, things aren’t quite in focus.
I was on my way to workout when I stopped for a passing train. Gave me a few minutes to practice some motion blur (image stabilization = greatest invention ever
)

I’ve shot this barn several different times in the past but nothing really stood out to me. One day, as I was driving by it, I turned and looked back and saw this angle, which I hadn’t before. It was a good reminder to always move around and explore every possible angle as there might be a better photograph waiting for you.
As for the barn, I imagine what life was like when you didn’t have the other building behind it.

We have several parks close to our house which affords many different playing opportunities for our kiddos, as well as various interesting items to photograph.

We have a bunch of birch trees in our backyard and it’s enjoyable to watch the sunrise come through them.
