I could reach back into my archives, I knew of a few to look at, one specifically, our trip to the Cabot Trail. However, during the winter my creativity needs to be ignited and followed through with, Im already primarily in hibernation mode so this challenge, among the other weekly ones, seeing it as new, has helped! All photos were taken in the spur of the moment, so I used my cell phone and are also SOOC.

We picked up our groceries this morning and as I went to get a cart, I looked over and saw this! I love the designs and patterns frost and ice creates on glass.

As I was sitting under a warm blanket on the couch I looked out at our covered deck, although its covered, our Canadian winters have snow everywhere. I didn’t know what I would photograph, but I felt the urge to grab my boots and face the cold.

Nature’s design of the snow overhanging of our roof at the back of our house. Honestly, Ive been admiring the snow overhang by our one kitchen window, this challenge was timely.

Snow on the deck, piled up in front of the glass railings.

This summer I found this little smokeless firepot on sale locally for a great deal, its small but mighty and we enjoyed it may nights in the fall with pellets or chewed up sticks courtesy of Gunner! Looking inside the firepot on a table covered in snow.

When you have a puppy, a toddler that visits all the time and baby nephew on the way, the gate was the perfect addition to our covered deck. The lines of the gate, along with the softness of the snow gently fallen against the planter, wood post and glass.

I am impressed with the deck furniture we have. We’ve had it since 2020 and its been outside in the elements on our covered deck since day 1. The design of one of the chairs sitting in the snow.

The only one who uses the deck in the winter is our dog. He loves the snow, he will go out and lay in the snow or on the couch (no cushions) enjoying the fresh air! Our dogs design in the snow with his paws.

I hope you have enjoyed my photos for this challenge, I am loving the inspiration these Lens-Artists provide weekly to keep the creative juices flowing.
