TNMC

There is a good reason I carry my camera with me just about every where I go.  It is this picture.  It seems half my life I've been having the thought that I could have taken a great photo if I had a camera with me.  The 365 day photo project has forced me to take a camera with me all the time.  It was a slow lesson to learn.  Months went by before it fully clicked into my somewhat slow to react brain that having the camera with me meant not missing opportunities.  Today may be the greatest result.

I looked out the window and noticed that it was snowing.  This was followed by a grunt of disgust and the usual internal rant about the weather this year and how sick I am of snow.  But in the middle of the rant I noticed something odd.  The snow wasn't white.  It was orange.  And that's when it hit me that the snow was being lit from the side by the setting sun peeking through a break in the clouds.  I don't know about you but I can't really recall many times when I've seen the sun and falling snow together.  So I grabbed the camera and raced outside to start taking photos.  The effect lasted less than five minutes.

Lesson learned.
