A wintery grab bag

Its been along time since I posted on the blog. Happy 2017 already.

So the post today is a wintery grab bag. I know all you have been excited about the winter weather we had this past weekend.

We got 3-4 inches of snow and about an inch of ice that covered the roads and made them so slippery so cars would not be able to make it on the roads or to work. All the school systems around the triangle in North Carolina have been cancelled due to this inclement weather.

I bet Al D has not been out doing photography in the snow this past weekend, but I have enjoyed doing photography out in this winter weather.

During my afternoon photo shot in the snow, I was able to catch the Great Blue Heron in the icy and snow in my neighborhood pond trying to find and catch fish.

I have been doing lots of winter weather photography for years. I also photographed the sunset with the ice that covered my neighborhood pond which was very cool.

Some tips for winter weather photography are to overexpose on the camera so you can make the snow much brighter in the photograph that you can see it as looks in nature.

Enjoy the snow while it lasts until Wednesday because its going to be near 70 on Friday!

Turtle Behaviors Already!!

As you can see from the photos below, I was able to capture turtle behavior. These pond sliders were very use to people around Anderson Park. As you can see the turtles were fighting to sun on the same rock. They made quite the pair together to photograph. This was a very fun day to watch animal behavior in the wild. As you can see the turtles cooperated together and made peace to each other to sun together on this rock.
