Winter Forest Floor

A snowy shot looking up from the forest floor this winter.  It was a nice day for a walk in the woods a few weeks ago, you can't really tell in the photo but it was snowing a little that day.

I like to get low to the ground and shoot up toward the sky, I like that way the trees look against the blue.  The lack of leave allows for more light to get through.

Wisconsin winter - random

These are just some random shot that I found interesting while walking in the woods.  I am really into close up and textures.

Snowy Pines

I have not idea why but I think the pine trees just look interesting in the winter, maybe because they are the only one with green left on them or maybe it's the way the snow sticks to them.

Snow covered Trees

The best time to take pictures in the winter is first thing in the morning after a good snow fall.  I love the way it sticks to the tress, but usually by evening the sun has come out and melted it all away.

Porcupine in a Tree

We saw porcupine up in this tree having a snack.

Porcupines occupy a short range of habitats in tropical and temperate parts of Asia, Southern Europe, Africa, and North and South America. Porcupines live in forests, deserts, rocky outcrops and hillsides. Some New World porcupines live in trees, but Old World porcupines stay on the rocks. Porcupines can be found on rocky areas up to 3,700 m (12,100 ft) high. Porcupines are generally nocturnal but are occasionally active during daylight.

Fall Buck

We spotted this nice buck this weekend in the woods.  He stood so still for the longest time you would have thought it was fake.
