Snowblind

 

The snow finally arrived, and not a moment to soon as we are only a few days way from Christmas.  Someone who was happy to see the snow was our little reindeer who calls the front yard home.  There are actually two of them on our lawn, both expertly crafted by My Lovely Assistant, but this little guy was perfectly positioned with our little cedar right behind.  I waited for the storm to end and the afternoon sun was just in the right place.  There was still a little dusting of snow falling from the sky, though it doesn't really show up in the small size being used here.  The photograph was taken at f/4, 1/160sec, ISO 100 at 120mm.  I then sent it off to CTV Montreal Weather Specialist Lori Graham who liked it enough to air it during the evening newscast.  I kept that information to myself in order to see the surprised reaction of My Lovely Assistant and The Heir Apparent when they saw our front yard friend on the television.  It was worth the secrecy. Thanks very much again to Lori Graham and the CTV Montreal crew.
