A week or so ago we had some more snow. The prediction was for 6-9 inches. Turned out to be 5 at most. Didn’t seem to bother the deer.

Photographs and thoughts on photography and camera collecting
I’d like to recommend a couple of wonderful photographers who have great YouTube Channels. They’re both nature photographers, but each with his own take on the genre.
The first is Simon Booth (Above). Although he does take wider nature views, he seems to be fond of more intimate landscapes: fungi, leaves, mosses, lichens, grasses and the like. Although I’ve taken such pictures occasionally in the past, Mr. Booth had inspired me to do more.
The second is Simon Baxter (Below). He specializes in woodland photography. I also do my share of woodland photography, and I find it very difficult! Woodlands are very “busy” and it’s hard to find an uncluttered background. How does Mr. Baxter do it? I suspect is a combination of a good eye combined with lots of patience and persistence, qualities that, unfortunately, I lack. Anyway, Kudos to him. I love his photographs. I doubt that you will find better examples of woodland photography on YouTube. Another reason to watch his channel is his dog, Meg. The title of his channel is “Simon Baxter and Meg” and she’s popular with his viewers (including me). He generally takes her with him on his photo walks. You can see her running around in the background having a great time. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a happier looking dog.
