Description
On a very cold Ohio morning in February, I let my little dog outside for her morning ritual. A light dusting of snow had fallen through the night and it was glistening in the morning sunshine. The sun was shining, but it was still very cold.
I was just standing there, looking around and admiring how pretty the yard looked with this beautiful new layer of white. I filled the bird feeder and as I was walking back towards the house, I noticed all these little footprints on our stone steps that lead further out into the yard. I admired how clear each print was and thought it made a really interesting pattern. I also thought it was pretty funny, because it sort of looked like this bird was still hung over from the night before!
Of course, I ran inside and grabbed my camera and took about a dozen shots, trying to figure the best angle and finding that the light was changing with every shot as the sun would go in and out of clouds. I finally came up with this image which I am really happy with. Good thing I was happy, because within the hour, even though it was so cold outside, the snow had all melted away! I'm so glad I went out there that morning and took time to just look around.
Recently this image won first place at our Westbridge Camera Club judged competition!
Thank you so much for taking time to look through my images and collections. I really appreciate your time!
I am very concerned with our environment and have decided to donate any money I make from any sales of this image to the ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND.....because the Earth needs a good lawyer! We all need to speak up and support efforts to protect our environment. We will not get a second chance!

An excellent abstraction of these steps. The shrinking rectangles are a great pattern but the footprints on them are wonderful. Glad I felt like seeing snow this morning. v/f
