Day 31 - Angel Hair Frost

It was below freezing this morning so I went out early and I saw a lot of this 'angel hair frost', or 'hair ice', on fallen and rotting branches.

Day 27 - Snowshoe Day

© Peter Mitchell

We have had an inversion here that has held the fog in place for days. You couldn't tell if the sun was shining or not. We finally had a chance and drove up the mountain and into the sunshine. Lovely day for a snowshoe.

Day 24 - Frozen Droplet

© Peter Mitchell

The water droplets on the twigs were all frozen this morning. This shot had very little colour due to the angle I shot so I converted it to B&W.

Day 18 - Speeding Through the Cosmos

© Peter Mitchell

I was trying to capture water drops using a flash but didn't having much luck. I didn't get the settings right. But when I was going through the shots this one made me think of a comet, so I cropped and rotated it to end up with this.

Day 13 - Gripped

No new photo again this day so this is from a few days ago. This is an ornamental cherry tree branch that was covered in snow which turned to ice as it melted.

Day 12 - Heavy Snow

© Peter Mitchell

No new photo for this day so I have used this one from a few days ago. There was a heavy wet snow which resulted in the bamboo beside our house to bend over.

Day 10 - Snowshoeing

© Peter Mitchell

It was raining when we left home to go snowshoeing and as we drove up the mountain we moved into cloud/fog. The rain had stopped once we started walking but the visibility dropped. This is what it looked like for most of the time we were out.

Another big snow overnight which then turned to a light rain during the day today.

Day 5 - Cattails in the Snow

© Peter Mitchell

It was snowing again today and in this shot I went for a longer exposure to blur the falling snow. It is a busy background so it is harder to see, but there is a light streaking there.

Day 4 - More Snow

© Peter Mitchell

We had more snow today and I liked the way the trees looked through the falling snow. In the end I'm not really happy with this because I think it would have been better showing more of the background tree line. But it didn't continue to snow that heavily so this is what I have today.

Day 2 - Wet Snow

The snow turned to rain creating a lot of slush which was fun to jump on and splash.

Day 1 - Gate Revisited

© Peter Mitchell

I took this photo of the gate again this year because of the contrast to last year (inset). Jan 1st a year ago was rainy compared to today with all the snow.
