You Capture - Outside

Beth gave us these instructions for this week, "Outside. Put your gloves on, grab your camera and take in this season while it’s still new".

Well, by the time the words were out of her keyboard, that was impossible because from the moment of the first freezing temperature and the first flake of snow, this season was old to me. And as our Midwest style with lake effect snow blizzard intensified, it got exponentially older.

But I did get outside just like she said. And I did almost lose my life (or at least my dignity) like I said here. And here is what Mother Nature provided me to photograph. What she didn't give me was enough light or the expertise to capture these drifts in a brighter mode.

We had days and days of dark and dreary. Finally yesterday it brightened up a little bit and I ventured out to the country.

I was trying to capture that magical evening sunlight but clouds swept in and took it away. Still I had to include this picture that says nothing but Winter.

For more, and undoubtedly brighter Outside pictures, visit Beth at Ishouldbefoldinglaundry and, if you dare to brave the elements, join in and post some pics of your own.
