My faithful and enthusiastic canine companion charging to greet me.
The third major snow storm of 2009/2010 is underway as I begin my first entry to my blog. Unlike many who live in Virginia I can’t get too much snow in the winter months. I prefer it hold off until I get my leaves up in the late fall. That’s seldom been a problem. This second snow of our winter season coincided with my son’s visit from a much warmer climate. He lives several hundred miles south of me and was excited to have visited when he did. We went out to play while the snow was fresh and powdery. I, of course, took advantage of the snowscape and beautiful sunlight for some photo ops. My son and his dogs (in the background) were the primary focus of my effort when my own dog Sadie, with typical enthusiasm, gave me an unexpected opportunity to capture her personality. The auto-focusing capabilities of my recently acquired Canon EOS 7D enhanced my likelihood of capturing this spontaneous moment. Following you can see some more of what I was able to capture.
