Sometimes it the view just before the view ...

| winter morning sky - through a gap |
I almost missed the framing of this scene by the snow covered cedars as I kept my eyes down to maintain sure footing on the ice covered trail leading down to the shore.
Being mindful to keep a photographic eye open as you make your way on whatever trek you're on can be harder than you'd think. In winter, maintaining sound footing in deep snow or on ice challenges you to keep your eyes down lest you misstep, stumble and fall... the fascinating winter scenes challenge you to keep your eyes up lest your view is at your feet and you miss that "money shot".
What a wonderful challenge for those of us who love to photograph outdoors in winter. We can venture out to a wonderland of sights, sounds and sensations to behold and capture our vision, through the lens.
Eyes down and tread safely ... Eyes up to find that "money shot".
