Nite Lights

I just love all the different 'views' my camera shares with me. I know I have so much to learn. I know I am really so very much an amateur at this and hope that someone out there will someday enjoy my photography as much as I (of course, without my Nikon...where would I be...thank you dear daughter for the wonderful recommendation). Maybe they are all just so simple...maybe they are all just, well, accidents perse, and maybe they do really just bore the true photographer...but that's okay because realistically...they only need to please me, myself, and I.

You may not realize how many different views of this area I have shared. This, yet another, presented itself just at dusk with the hues and shadows being reflected from the simple street lights. This was taken through my window that overlooks the park....and although I didn't think my camera would take the shot without a flash (which I knew would just reflect off of the window if I used it) it captured it just....so picture perfect...in my eyes atleast.

More...Winter Nite Lites

Normally, in more sane temperatures and when it isn't snowmobiling weather, I walk a trail that used to be old railroad tracks. Now with the onset of snowmobilers, that trail is closed to 'pedestrians' so on bearable temperature nights (this one being only 17 degrees) I wander the streets of my 'little village'. Each and every road, each and every side walk, is lined with snow banks. Most during these shorter winter days are dark during my walk back home from mom's. Every once in awhile, I'll wander upon one lightly lit. This one glowed brightly as the rays from one very little red light reflected off of the snow banks and lit everything around it....as if trying to reflect some much needed warmth, promising the tree that it will keep it warm until that bright light in the sky returns to do the same.
