Welcome Back Winter

Two days ago it was 10C above, today it's -5C and snowing.  The Atlantic coast definitely has a wide variety of weather!

I took advantage of the fresh snow and walked along an out of service dirt road.  I got some cool shots!

Saffron helped me pick out my warm clothes and pack my gear.

One of the Christmas gifts I received was a pair of WinterTrax - one size fits all snow grips that slip over the soles of my boots.  They are the most useful gift I received!  Even when I was walking over ice today, my footing was solid.

What I learned along the way:

• Wear a toque (that's a beanie for you American readers).  The brim of my baseball cap just kept getting in the way.
• If you're going to climb through a barbed-wire fence, wear old clothes.  My poor jeans.
• A tripod is a must, so that you can use a higher aperture to capture a greater depth of field.  As my photography teacher told me "Landscape pictures must be tack sharp."
