The great outdoors

This week, with a couple of borrowed snowshoes on my feet, I tried snowshoeing, a simple sport with a simple methodology, you can walk on top of snow, that can be quite deep, providing your feet are big enough. In this case feet that are 35½ x 76cm in size make it easy to walk on snow. Of course with the camera in tow, I was able to get some good images. There is a trick to snowshoes, you need to be careful that you don't put one shoe over the other, because that's a good way to end up doing a face plant in the snow. The nice thing about living in a more rural area, is that you don't need to go far to find nature, the photo of the week was taken in the back yard. Our back yard ends at the base of the Niagara Escarpment, and there is some forest above and below, this was in the forest.

Photo of the Week.
As I said earlier this was in the back yard, technically it was taken in the forest our yard backs onto. But still, I like the delicate structure of the snow here, on the branch, other then converting the digital image to black and white, it's natural light and as it was sitting on the branch.
