Yesterday was the darkest day of the year, it will only get lighter from here on out, thank fucking god!
We only got about four and a half hours of daylight. The sun hardly even climbs above the tree line and as soon as it does, right back down it goes. There is only a very brief window for shooting outside, and when that window opened, I ran out still in my PJ's, a down jacket and the first booties that were somewhat my size. I have major FOMO regarding great photography conditions, especially when I'm in the countryside, so when I see something good, I run out immediately. So I walked down to the lake, through snow that was almost up to my knees, snapped a couple pictures and quickly ran back inside for a cup of tea.
It was snowing all morning, like you can see from the first two pictures, soon there is enough to go sledding!
