Christmas Lights

It snowed here all weekend, which was fun. Tonight I decided to take another photo of my house since the snow makes it look a little more like a Christmas scene. I set up the tripod and used a 30 second exposure while walking up my driveway and firing the flash at the snow to light it up. And then I played with this shot in photoshop to really spice it up.

By the way, I've got 3 Christmas songs recorded and ready for you to listen to. Listen to them here.

A Hawk Again

Last Sunday around lunch time a hawk landed in my front yard. This Sunday around lunch time a hawk landed in a tree near my driveway.

Under The Moon

I went outside tonight to get a few photos of the Christmas tree and lights I've set up. I didn't realize how nice everything looked under the moonlight until I was out there. It's cold (19 degrees), but it really was nice to be outside for the twenty minutes I was photographing the house. And then just before I stepped back inside a shooting star blazed across the sky for a couple of seconds. Is seeing a shooting star good luck, or are you supposed to make a wish?

Hawks play in the snow, too.

... and when I say play, I mean this hawk swooped out of a tree to grab some small animal for lunch.
