Jan. 2010 snow pics

here are some pics from over the last 3 days during Tennessee's winter storm! Some were taken at night, and I took some of the cars to show how much ice we had. The last 4 photos were shot with my new 50mm 1.8.....yes, I am in love!

Snow + Dogs = funny stuff

Tennessee has never been known for getting much snow....mention guitars, honky tonks, big hair (picture Flo off the old TV show Alice), cowboy boots, rednecks....now THAT"S what I'm talking about! But yesterday morning it started....and kept on through the night. The weather guys are saying me might get some more today. MORE SNOW??? Wow. I ventured out this morning very early, still peaceful and quiet, to take a few pictures. Underneath the snow is ALOT of ice...so much that when you walk it kind of caves in and then leaves a sheet of cracked ice where you just walked. On the driveway, I was a good inch OFF the actual driveway! If I would walk gently (which I have been known to fall in the past) I would be walking on top of the driveway. I hope you can imagine this, but it was really weird. And to wrap up my ice story, did you know that dogs don't like to poop when their walking on the ground that has inches of ice? Who knew? I didn't get any pics of Cheyenne yet, but here's DJ and Tahiti yesterday when it was just snow.

Yeah!

I'm so excited! After having my camera for quite awhile, I finally was able to order a new lens! Holllla!!!! It's not a big, fancy lens, but hey, it's another lens! I ordered a 50mm 1.8. Practice shots coming soon!!!!!!!!

Granddogs.......Brody and Champ

Theses crazy boys are our granddogs......their not too crazy about getting their pictures taken, so it took quite an effort just to get these two shots!
