Header Challenge: Let It Snow!
January 3, 2013
My wife and I like the snow. She likes colder weather, period. I
prefer extreme cold over extreme heat, as long as I can dress for it
properly. Keep the shorts and sandals; I'm much more comfortable in a
longsleeved flannel shirt or a hoodie. Well, this winter has been
unseasonably warm so far, and we've had negligible accumulation. I
needed to remind myself of where I live, so here are some
let
it snow pics. This week's theme was my choice. Check out my
pals for their interpretations on the theme:

My header is a close-up of a snow bump. I lit it with a diffused flash. There is a Christmas tree in the background, and the snowflakes were made by putting a sheet of construction paper with a snowflake cutout in front of the lens. It's called a
bokeh filter It took some tinkering, but once I figured it out, it was easy. I added a white vignette because I wanted it to look like we were looking outside a frosted window to a snowman in a blizzard.

| We love snow... lots of it! |

| ...Except when the snow plow breaks my mailbox. |
 |
| Just a simple snowman last time... but we have creative ideas for the next great snowfall! |
