Photo – Our house on December 08, 2007
So much for having a White Christmas this year, according to the Weather Man! Of course, we know that they are not always right!

This post doesn’t really fit into the winter theme I was on. But, it does fit into a ongoing theme about things we observe in our own front yard, like a beautiful Sierra Sunrise, snowfall or a deer!

Jeff and IÂ are looking forward to another great Cross Country Ski season this year. Hopefully, we will get out more than we did last year, which was only once. But, the previous year, we managed to ski a dozen times. Wow – that sounds a little out-of-balance to me!
Photo – Digital art photo of a Sierra Sunrise, Auburn, CA
I have been having so much fun lately creating Digital Art photos, I decided to experiment with the Sierra Sunrise photo I posted a few days ago. I really like the way this turned out.
Creating Digital Art photos has been a nice change from what I normally produce, which is travel, adventure and outdoor lifestyle images. I believe it’s important to break the paradigm every now and then and create just for the fun of it!

This was what our house looked like on March 12, 2006. It was awesome!
Photo – Sierra Sunrise as seen from our deck, Auburn, CA
Although this may not be the most spectacular sunrise I have ever seen, I didn’t have to go very far to enjoy it!
A few mornings ago, when I looked out our French Door, this beautiful sunrise is what I saw. That’s not a normal occurance for us, but now that winter is finally here, we will be experiencing a lot more of them!Â
I have gotten into the habit lately of looking out our French Door every morning, when it first starts getting light outside. I also keep my camera handy and ready, so I can take advantage of whatever might be in my field of view, such as the sunrise above and the deer in the photo I posted a few weeks ago.Â
Photo Tip – Keep your eyes wide-open and be prepared, because photo opportunities can be as close as your own front yard!

Photo – Abstract Aspen grove, near Bridgeport, CA
This abstract was created from the same original photograph of the Aspen grove I have been featuring over the last few weeks. I used the Spherize Distorting Filter in PhotoShop to get this effect. This doesn’t work well on all subjects, but with a little experimenting, you will find what works best.
Happy experimenting!
