Winter is My Favourite Season for Photography

in #photography5 years ago

The rest of the year I don't enjoy morning, and winter all in all is terrible, yet merge these two together...winter morning and I have some of the prettiest captures of the year.

Even Though It Was Freezing Cold

Nothing else can get me outside in the morning faster, and with as big a smile on my face, as Winter Beauty.

I started taking pictures today before the sun crested the hill.

Inside the bootroom. Everyone in Nova Scotia has a bootroom.

I could see that everything got covered in frost and it would be a spectacular sight once the sun came out...

My life is complete now. The #chickenbitchez ain't complaining either!

Okay, maybe they're a bit pissed off that it's still winter.

The sunlight is great, but this cold can fuck off back to where it came from. -Mr. Pendock

It has been unseasonably cold here in NS this December, and now January. Like I said, beautiful mornings are a positive side effect. Here's another one: The ponds and lakes are actually frozen! Most winters you're lucky to get a few days - 1 week, tops, of outdoor skating. I have lost track of the amount of times the boys have gone out this winter. An hour ago I snapped these pics of @eddiebowes on his way out for a game on the local pond.

I hope you're having a pleasant one #SteemFam wherever you are in the world. Sending out good vibes, from my soul to yours!

@lyndsaybowes, a beautiful post! It was, as always, fun to read! The pictures are really beautiful. You live in a really very picturesque place.
It is so nice that everything is fine with the #chickenbitchez. Love the stories about them.

Enjoy the winter mornings! I also stated to like the Winter.
Btw, I am gonna visit Canada and stay a week or so... Today, a bit earlier, I checked the prices of the tickets in the second half of April to Toronto or Montreal ... So, I will wait for the Winter to end...

Wow, that's awesome that you are coming to Canada, it's a very large country, so even with you in Toronto or Montreal, it is days to drive to the East coast where I'm situated. Definitely wait for the spring. You don't want to see this, feel this...right now hahaa!!

I really love your pics and narrative. I guess part of the way to enjoy winter is to have fun in a sport that involves a frozen pond.

Hi Vanessa! Thank you for stopping by, I'm glad to know you are hibernating as well. Looking out the window is good enough for me most days.

LOL @eddiebowes is literally moving the goal-posts. In this case that's actually quite nice of him.

We haven't seen our cove frozen like that yet this year. Much better than last year.

Great job capturing the light in your crystal kingdom!

So you guys haven't got this below zero for weeks crap there? Lucky!!

I hope you're having a great winter!

The worst months are yet to come...eeek!!

So beautiful our crystal palace on the bay. I actually laced up those runners and got myself out there and did a fine howdy do up the Bitch Hill and over to MacDonald Cove. Right proud I am. Some of those pics are works of art.

Ooh Oma's got her groove back!! I bet you felt awesome after and slept oh so good. Inspiration for me to get my ars back in gear.

I took my son ice skating twice this past weekend! It actually was pretty warm for Edmonton. Not too far off from 0 during the day! If he was near you, he’d be fascinated with your son carrying the hockey net! Our local outdoor skating rink has two rinks side by side, one for regular skating and one for hockey! He’s not ready to play hockey yet so he always has to skate to the other end of the rink to look at all the older hockey players! He always says he’s going to be a hockey player when he grows up!

Aww, bless your boy, I bet he'll be an awesome hockey player with how much he's interested in the sport. I'm glad you guys got some warmer weather too, you deserve it!

Winter is a beauty to behold, asides from the cold. Beautiful pictures all ❤
