It’s been a bit slow here on the blog for the past few weeks. I’ve been itching to write and itching even more to get out with the camera and get some winter photography in. It’s just has happened yet as we continue to have one of the driest and warmest winter seasons on record. We have had plenty of wind but that’s a little more difficult to convey in photographs then inches of snow piled high on the ground and trees.
The few times I’ve actually had decent lighting conditions, there has been little in the way of snow covering the landscape of Rocky Mountain National Park. As I write this, it looks like we are finally going to see some changes and what could possibly be some of our better snow so far this winter in Rocky. A large winter storm is going to be heading east over from the Pacific, the Sierras and into Colorado by tomorrow. This storm should bring some much needed snow to Colorado and especially the west side of RMNP.
I’m hoping this is the first of a bunch of drought busing late winter/spring storms that can easily help to make up for the lack of snow. While the moisture is badly needed, getting some interesting winter conditions for us photographers would be the proverbial icing on the pine tree.
