“Success in life is founded upon attention to the small things rather than to the large things; to the every day things nearest to us rather than to the things that are remote and uncommon.”

- Booker T Washington

We just received another 8 inches of snow. The weather man says this week is supposed to clear up and warm up. Yah hooooo.

What is Utah the land of one million cool looking old barns??? The way the wood weathers in these old buildings is so interesting and you capture it so well! Are you carrying that pheasant around in your truck and just letting it out to photograph it or what - he is beautiful!! Hope you warm up down there!! aknor · 2008-02-03: 20:23

Beautiful crisp images. Love the juxtaposition of the coldness of the snow with the warmth of the images. losalamos666 · 2008-02-03: 20:32

it's so pretty though! snow is such a pain sometimes - especially if you're tired of winter - but your photos are just so cool and i love the snow in them! we got some more snow last night, but it's too warm now and foggy and it's all melting and dripping - yuck! lexlevans · 2008-02-04: 10:34

haha, i just read Aknor's comment - that woman is seriously funny. lexlevans · 2008-02-04: 10:35

I love the last shot, your pictures are always amazing. tbranscum · 2008-02-04: 10:50

I really like #1. I wonder how old is that cabin? bamommy · 2008-02-04: 11:01

Yah hooooo.... Boo hooooo ! Have you been feeding that pheasant ? He looks a little plumper compared to your last shot. Hopefully... it won't be his last shot ! :) TheBigHush · 2008-02-04: 17:40

so cool, superb set! Karibbean · 2008-02-05: 00:51

I love your snowscapes! And your barn shots. I don't think I've ever seen so much red on a pheasant. Awesome contrast! Beautiful set!! Jannie · 2008-02-05: 20:05

#2 is really cool! ccrowe13 · 2008-02-06: 19:09

We always stare in wonder at the things we see rarely, but we should bow before the greatness of everyday thing that we forget how beautiful a nright sky or a dawn may be... a wonderful photo ElanorDawn · 2008-02-12: 10:59

Beautiful neighbourhood. Fantastic bird. And not so "every day" things - not for everybody anyhow ;) astrobrojler · 2008-04-18: 19:13
