One of these snowstorms could be pretty enough to photograph, until then I will make tiny ugly snowmen.

the dailypic 3400 yr10 113 The Red Moon and Those Stars
12:19:59am is the timestamp on this photo, the camera does not tell me the temperature. Cold, I would say it was cold, kneeling on a dog mat in icy snow looking up through the viewfinder of the D580 with the Nikon 200-400mm lens attached to the tripod. Wondering a few things, like why I am not in bed, why I did not bring the gloves out with me, who will be the one who finds my frozen carcass since the family and the dogs have all gone to sleep, does TB12’s drive in the 4th quarter and the one in overtime each count separately as comeback drives, who comes up with these ‘super mean wolf red dwarf moon’ namey things and don’t I have enough photos of the damn moon? The specs of this photo are: 400mm, 1.6sec at f4.0, ISO 3200, the tripod burnt my hand in the cold way when I went to bring it inside. It was cool that the sky cleared so those of us that were daring enough could witness it, next time I hope it is scheduled in the summer, and maybe like 1 in the afternoon.

A favorite spot, the bridge at Choate Park in Medway, on a crappy weather day.

Lost power, snowblower broke, but in the end, it is still pretty.

A simple battle, that movie ‘The Dog Who Stopped the War’ popped in my head the other day. Not even sure why, have not seen it in decades. It was a favorite when I was a kid, one of the cable channels played it on a loop in the winter. Incredibly slow and depressing, anyone remember it? Poor dog. Stupid kids.

the dailypic 3021 yr9 099 Beach Day
Barbara, Josie, a couple cameras and I took a beach day. Negative 2° when we left the house this morning, we headed to Scusset Beach. No traffic, easy parking and the feel of Iceland. Tucked in the corner of the beach, next to the jetty, is a pocket of frozen ocean. Ice, foam, snow, and birds all making a beautiful scene. After that we headed to the Bourne Bridge and watched sheets of ice navigate the canal.

Unless you have a “Winter” Dog you might not know how hard it is to get them to come inside when it is cold and snowy out. Josie was born for the snow, ice, cold. The second the temperature drops, she is beaming, hides in the yard – as well as a 100lb dog can in hopes that we will not see her and make her come inside. Tomorrow’s storm will mean, she sits at the window and whines until some one lets her out… then she runs back to the door in hope you too will go out and play with her. One of my favorite memes (what a stupid word) is the “reminder” about not letting your dogs stay out in the cold, then underneath is a picture of a Berner that says “Bitch, please”. Snow is her element. If only I could get her to shovel while she was out there. There is not an inch of my back yard that will not have a happy paw prints on it by the end of the day tomorrow.
