How I Spent My Saturday

-bought the Coldplay tickets.

-did a little jig.

-finished an album for a client.

-bought the new The Fray album [obsessed with it].

-watched 6 inches of snow dump down from the heavens.

-came to the conclusion that winter will never end.

-researched beachy vacations.

-scraped my car for approximately 10 minutes.

-ran 9 miles on a treadmill while watching Gone With The Wind.

-felt reminiscent while on treadmill since GWTW was one of my favorite movies as a kid.

-realized that watching this movie at age 27 is a lot different than age 7.

-oh, and I took a butt load of pictures.

So yeah. It's still winter after all. But armed with my camera I can tolerate almost anything...

these really are a good representation of the wretched snowy winter days we get...and at the end of Feb, they are no longer welcome in my world...but make for good photos :)

I love all the pictures, especially the last two at night. It reminds me of It's A Wonderful Life! Stay warm!

With no tripod around, 'tis best to hold your breath :) That's how I got my Disney castle shots at night.

I love all of your pictures. I should them to my husband and now he wants to get that camera! We both love photography, but we have a crappy camera. I guess we have some saving to do!

i totally love the "epitome of Wisconsin winters" shot. very nice and i TOTALLY hear you about snowy night shots... such a pain. tripods do make all the difference though.
