Spring Time In ND

There's more white fluffy frozen particles of moisture falling from the sky (trying to avoid using a four letter word here) this morning, but we're all still hopeful that Spring will come and stay. Here's a couple of pictures I shot this weekend. Hopefully soon I can post pictures of green grass and flowers blooming, isn't that a nice thought?
 Wondering if this fat little Robin is confused about why it returned so early? Where's the grass and worms?
 On the way into Napoleon. The White little barn on the left has been surrounded by water since we moved here, but not quite this high. The other building are usually useable, but not at the moment. 
 West Lake by Napoleon. Water usually not on this side of those trees. Our flooding is minimal. My heart goes out to the eastern part of the state and all that happening there.
Who needs a white backdrop for a "High Key" shot, when you have a this much snow?  Even though the lighting would be wrong for a High Key shot, I'm calling this my ND Snow High Key.  :-) Quito was sinking in pretty deep. I kept wanting to get a shot of him up to his belly in the snow, but as soon as I'd put the camera up to my eye, he'd lie down.  Just haven't been able to get him to "pose" the way I want him. LOL

View out the window on April 15

Woke up this morning to over 6 inches of wet snow. Not what I wanted to see on this "Taxing" day of April 15.  I think Spring is playing hide and seek. It's hiding the ground again, and I have to seek peace in knowing that winter will loose this game, and spring will win!

And yes, it's still snowing.  I shot these through the window again, cause I'm just too lazy to go outside in the this cold and shoot pictures. :-)
Come on Spring, I'm pulling for you, you can win this battle!!
This is all fresh snow, as yesterday this was all grass showing.

Bookworm

Those that know Kristi know a book is always in her hand. Yesterday I got a new light meter and had another photography crazy friend over and we were playing with it (big girl toys) and trying to figure out how to use all the different functions.  We asked Kristi to come be our "model". So book in hand she sat for us, while we snapped away, adjusted by my new light meter. I really like this one. Pretty much straight out of the camera no adjustments, other than removing a few "blemishes." I'm liking this new meter!
You may notice that Kristi has also become a "Star Trek" fan. Oh my!!
