I’ve been wanting to participate in You Capture at I Should Be Folding Laundry for awhile. I’ve needed something to get me taking pictures, because I haven’t been picking up my camera the last several. I was disappointed last week when I saw that the topic was “cold”.
Here in the northwest, we’ve been having an unseasonably warm January. Seriously – it’s been heavenly. No wind, no rain and temps in the mid-upper 50’s (tomorrow the wind will blow and the rain will start just because of that sentence) so I wasn’t sure I would get anything cold to take a picture of.
Then this morning, when the kids headed out the door to school it was below freezing. And there was signs of winter – fog hanging over the neighborhood, frost on the grass, bushes and roof tops. Gray skies above the fog. It just looked like winter, and cold.
So I put on my husband’s flip flops, grabbed the camera and headed out. Here are a couple shots I got:
I’m particularly excited about the bottom one because I used the manual mode.
Stay warm this week!

I like those! It's so cool, with the ice crystals
lovely shots!
I like both!
Those are beautiful! Great job!
My favorite part of this story is that you put your hubby flip flops on to tromp outside in the freezing weather! I do the same thing when it's time to take my little one to the bus stop. Somehow they're just more convenient than finiding my own shoes:)
Lovely shots, by the way! The frost on them looks way cool.
I like them both and love the bottom. It's fun to see the photos you take. You'll laugh - I realized this week when I was trying to shoot in manual that I don't even know how to change the f stop on my camera. I've got to figure that out pronto.
love the frost and the flipflops. Brrrrr!
