The Difference Twelve Or So Hours Make

The day greeted me with a few inches of sleet covering a thin blanket of  ice. It did make our old barn look quite nice but several hours after this shot it was getting serious and I though “Here we go again”.IMG_0763

By the end of the day we had sunshine and The Boy was happy as we were.

Just Stopping By

A couple of Canada geese are visiting our place though I am not sure why since they usually fly up the road  to the lake. As I was getting some items out of my car I spotted them in the field next to the house. Thankfully  one of those items was my Canon Powershot SX10is. I was able to get several shots of them but not wanting to spook them I could not frame them both in the same shot. So here is one of my “just stopping by” neighbors.

Long Past Gone

I normal shot in B&W with my ol’ point and shots but have made several attempts at Color-to-B&W conversions. Here is another such attempt and the subject is an abandoned one room building I found several weekends ago. It was to cold then, and the Sun was not checking then, but it showed up to give me a hand yesterday. See what you think.
