Dear Photograph (200/365)

Dear Photograph:  Thanks for reminding me in this 100 degree heat that before we know it, winter will soon be here.  Then we will be complaining about how cold it is and wanting the heat again.

TIME:  8:15 PM
PLACE:  Front yard
SUBJECT:  Photo of HH pulling DQ & MB on a sled, Christmas Eve, 2002.

I’ve been fascinated by this blog and decided to give it a try.  These aren’t the best photos to use, but I wanted to show the contrast between the greenery in the height of summer and the snow and starkness in the winter.  I’m not really happy with these and need to play with the camera settings a bit to get more depth of field.  If I had to grade these, I’d give these attempts a “C”.  What I really want to do is dig out some older family photos taken at my Dad’s house and do this there.  I think that would be really cool.

My “day off” today.  I returned an item to Best Buy, went to the mall to get my refund from another return earlier this month (I had originally paid with a check, so they issued a voucher which I could redeem after 10 days) and then came home and attacked the dust bunnies that have invaded my bedroom.  As I was cleaning the cat nose prints off the window, I noticed the sled sitting in the yard.  It provided the perfect excuse to take a break - “Sorry, I can’t clean anymore..I must go take a picture for my blog.”
