First snow in our new house! Not much of a snow, just a dusting really. I went out first thing in the morning to explore the frozen backyard with my faithful companions
Two faithful companions, reporting for duty!
I was first attracted by the apples that still hung on the tree, capped with snow
Frozen birdbath
I went to the frozen fountain, and thought it would be fun to photograph a contrasting pebble across the expanse of ice. So I picked out a pebble and tossed it out there.
Thanks, Barclay! You’re a lot of help!
The statues looked kind of haunting, draped in frozen cobwebs and snow
Snow and cold marked every part of the yard.
The little birds who visit the birdbath every morning must have been disappointed to find it frozen over. One hopped across the snow and left tracks for me to find.

Yes, all with the new camera, and the 35mm f1.8 lens, which gives those lovely blurry backgrounds. I think that really made the statues and the apples pop.

The apple photos are cool! I'm amazed that you still have apples hanging around. Ours were gone by November.
I also like the birdbath photo, too. Very creative with the snow outlining the shape of the birdbath and with the footprints, there is no mistaking what you are photographing. 🙂
