Tree Top Star 1222 by Kent Lorentzen

I was inspired by something I saw the other day to try for this Tree Top Star photo. Almost waited till too late in the day to get this, as the sun was getting higher all the time.

Anyway… It’s a spruce tree in the front yard. Took a tripod out the front door and around to the side of the house. Took several shots from different positions.

I think this was the best of them, with a star glowing right atop the evergreen and the shadow contrasted against the fresh snow.

Too bad the power lines and my footprints in the snow show up in the picture. Oh Well! Guess you can’t have everything!

December Sunrise 1205 by Kent Lorentzen

Looked out this morning, and this was what I saw. Had to step out the door and take some pictures. Look at that orange sky behind the trees as the sun rises into the sky. All the fresh white snow on trees in the front yard add to the winter scene.

I was only going to step out for a moment and come right back in, so didn’t grab a hat, jacket, or gloves. Heck… It was only 2 below zero, not that cold. Well… Guess what, that one photo turned into several as the light changed. I wasn’t dressed all that warm. Getting back in and standing by the fire felt real good!

Snowy Trees 1181 by Kent Lorentzen

After Saturday’s snowfall I had to go out Sunday morning and take pictures. The trees were pretty with fresh snow on them. Had to learn how to set the camera to get the best results.

Here’s a photo of a spruce tree behind a maple tree, in the front yard. Took this picture right outside the front door.

Ended up taking quite a few photos. Now, I have to pick out the best ones and get them uploaded to the web.
