For all the talking I do about the farm, I don't think I actually take that many pictures of the property – I mostly take photos of the dog. But of course, the dog is the best looking anything in the area, wherever she is, so it's hard for me to find the motivation to take pictures of other things.
I'm trying to take more photos in different ways to train that eye and develop a style, though, so we'll see how it goes. I mostly realized this when I was scrolling through the last few blog posts, but I've been taking more varied shots recently, so we're getting there. And of course, now I want to buy a new camera body and lens, even though I'm not even close to running up against the limitations of my current gear.
But that's all more of a side thought for now, since spring is starting up at the farm!
Once again, we went up to the farm for Family Day weekend! We were able to drive up to the house, but there was snow on the ground. It was also cold enough that we did not turn on the water. While we were there, we got more snow! Our neighbour actually came over and pre-emptively plowed a path for us to get back out, which was really nice of him.
Actually it's really interesting looking at my post from last year and all the photos – especially the river. While the river's not frozen solid, or even close to it, for many years, we definitely had more ice this year than last!
As usual, I procrastinated editing photos, but at least they are being put up in the same month in which I took them!
We had an unseasonably warm weekend where it was over 25C! That was unexpected… not unpleasant, but I’m not sure I liked it. We had a lot of garden work planned and doing that in summer-like heat was not fun.
Anyway, under the cut are some photos I’d like to highlight, but the full gallery is also available at this link!
Finally got around to editing and uploading my photos from a couple weekends ago! It's all dog photos, unsurprisingly. This was such a weird weekend – we managed to drive up to the farm house! Normally in February, there's way too much snow. And then it was so warm that we could even turn the water on, and it got even warmer and a bunch of the remaining snow melted.
Of course, I'm typing this now when we've been hit by two snow storms in as many weeks, so y'know. Canadian weather.
Anyway, link to the photo gallery is here! Also, I can’t wait until I can make blog posts straight from Snap.as galleries. I should potentially explore making a blog-friendly photo display thing in Markdown too… but that’d be for the code blog, haha.
