Icy Afternoon

Every year about this time, Horsetooth freezes over and doesn't unfreeze completely until spring. This is the the beginning of the reservoir freezing completely.

Slowly Freezing Over

Time to Leave

It seems like the geese didn't leave last year. Maybe they didn't since it was a milder winter. I was fortunate enough to capture them flying over the mountains.

Self Protrait

While I was out taking photos, I tried to capture a few self portraits. I don't really like any of the ones I took, but this one is alright. I also figured that since it was the end of the year, I should try and take at least one self portrait so I can look back on this some day and see my progression throughout my life.
I'm sick of always taking pictures of other people and never having photos of me. The only photos I get are from other people's cameras which are always of poor quality, and they only take one photo as opposed to 5 over a 10 second period, capturing the bet moment. But at least I can control the environment a little better with a self portrait. I picked an overcast day for a reason, and also a day with just a touch of snow on the mountains.
