Looks like a lot of fun. Nice pix.

Like that first one with the dog concentrating on its steps.

Recognize the Pine trees. What's the other tree up there - Incense Cedar?

great set. do you have the original of the lone pine?

BTW ...

The "lone pine" if its the one in the middle, is actually a conifer more like a Noble Fir.

the second photo is called "lone pine" which is why i referred to it that way.

Do you hand-hold the camera for these? If a tripod, what to do with the legs?

I had never really even thought about using a tripod on snow before. Are there special attachments for the legs?

Hee Hee!! Nice photos... it is funny that the "Lone Pine" isn't a pine , though !!! Good catch mdvaden !!

Kinda looks like a spruce of some sort, too, if it's not a fir. Don't know what type of spruces you'd have out west, though, so can't say for sure.

I like all these, really fresh looking. 2nd one is great but love them all!!

I guess "Lone Fir" didn't quite have the same ring. HA! Thanks for pointing out my lack of education on trees

All the pics were hand-held. Trying to walk off of the road meant being hip deep in fresh snow.

Thanks! I was really happy with the treatment of the second one, it was one of those rare times (for me at least) where I saw the end product before I shot the pic.

Love the paw prints shot.

You've got a friend for life and that dog. Great work

Super shots - particularly love the one with the dog and his paw prints.

Is the lone pine any relation to the lonesome pine in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia?

Thanks! It was my wife's idea, I'm just glad I could do it justice

Thanks, Darla is very tolerant of our wacky ideas.
