Antique Snowfall
Oklahoma City has had snow now for two days. Our pasture was pristine and white and still. I went out in it to recreate a classic snow scene, as people here have endured for generations. But then, the crunchy sounds under foot, the soft snow -I could not resits a little dash through the snow! Yes – I froze – it was 18 degrees! My camera became so cold, it froze as well! BUT it was FUN!
This photos is straight from the camera, as is, like all of my work.

This is brilliant in its uniqueness in a way few photos are. It is one of those I would frame in a heartbeat, and display in a prominent place in my home. It appeals to mt heart and mind at the same time. Truly outstanding Laura.
