W<\/span>e’ve received so much snow in the past couple of weeks that it’s hard to believe we had none on the ground in mid-December. We’ve had a lot of fun getting out and playing in it this week!<\/p>\n

A few of you have been by to see how well the front yard works as a photo studio in the summer, but did you know during the winter months it moonlights as a toboggan hill? (I love my semi-rural life only a wee bit more than I love my w-i-d-e angle lens that stretches and distorts things, making close seem closer and far seem further.)<\/p>\n

I drive by these snowy trees almost every day and I finally stopped one day to try to capture the interesting contrast of white snow on dark branches that kept catching my eye. Apparently I did not learn my lesson last week<\/a>, but was at least smart<\/s> lucky enough to not get stuck this time.<\/p>\n

We also had a lot of fun outside building snowmen during our winter break. I picked up a snowman “kit” on sale at the grocery store and I gotta tell you, it’s paid for itself in fun already. I shared one photo in my how to add snow in Photoshop <\/a>post, but here’s the full series:<\/p>\n

(I love how the snowman has a smile that seems to turn into a frown in the one where Lucas is staring him down! And you’ll see the perils of adding snow to your photos in post production – you kind of have to be willing to commit for the full series!)<\/p>\n

And, while we were on our snowman kick, we made a mini-one too! He has peppercorns for eyes, mouth and buttons, in case you were wondering. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

After all that snowman building, this is kind of how I felt: “Ever have one of those days when you’re just riding on fumes?” <\/p>\n

Last but certainly not least, this week of course included new year’s day. I took a shot last year that we decided to carry on as an annual tradition. Here’s the 2012 shot:<\/p>\n

And here’s the 2013 shot.<\/p>\n

\"Hello<\/a><\/p>\n

Lots of changes in just one year, eh?<\/p>\n

Happy new year to all of you, and may 2013 be a joyful year full of beauty and fun for everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
