Some Winter Pics

As most of you know, I have a new camera now; an Olympus FE-46. It has a setting for everything, is rather complicated compared to my last digicam, and I'm obviously still figuring it out. I have to take repeated breaks to give my eyes time to cool off. lol Anyway, above is the first landscape shot I took with it. This is a forest in Hollis near Monson on a foggy afternoon. What do you think?

The next couple of pictures were the last ones taken by my old *sniff* camera. On Sunday, in the foggy morning light, I spotted these deer in Amherst. The one to the left is a doe keeping watch as her twin yearlings graze and play.

Narnia eat your heart out!

The above picture I took right after our first real snow. This is the trail leading away from Monson in Milford. I had gone there early in the morning so that I could take pictures of snow on the branches in the forest. By mid morning, the branches were bare from the sun's heat. For a much much much much better quality image, click on it to enlarge it. I kept it large as it makes a nice background for my desktop!

This picture of "Cold Brook Cutoff" in Beaver Brook is one of my favorites despite the lack of quality because of what it seems to represent. (and yes, this is another that expands if you click on it) Doesn't it look like autumn up front and winter in the back? On a tree to the left you'll see the fitting sign "Cold Brook Cutoff". :)

Back in November, I took a picture of 2 of my favorite oak trees in the Monson fields. The first picture is that very one. The morning I came after the first snow, I tried to take the same picture again. I was only slightly off. :) I have pictures of these trees in all the seasons now. I just have to put them all together!
