December was a month of snow, and temperatures that made me hide in the house. Winter isn't exactly one of my favorite seasons. I thoroughly dislike it in true opinion, but I know two things about winter: 1) A snowy landscape can be a pretty amazing thing, and 2) Winter is an excellent time to slow things down, and prepare for the upcoming year. I did manage to take in a few amazing snowy sunsets, a great fishing day, and some beautiful country drives. There were definitely sometimes in December that reminded me what a great season Winter can be... even if I was only using it to recover with some much needed TLC. At the end of December I had the excellent opportunity to take in some rodeo practice at a local arena. It was exactly what I needed. It was great to be out around so many friendly faces, and be able to take in some of my favorite things without having to concentrate to much on anyone thing. The arena was beautiful, and had great light which was a big bonus when practicing shooting. I haven't had my camera in hand much in the past month so I was I a bit rusty. Even that day I did more socializing than having my face behind the camera. Which to was a very good idea, because it can be very lonely always having your face behind a camera. It was a good day to practice, meet people, and just take it easy in a good environment. December was an excellent month to remind me that sometimes the best thing you can do is NOT pick up your camera. The best thing to do is to take a break, and indulge in the things you love for the pure love of it rather than concentrating on capturing it. December left me feeling refreshed, and ready to take on the New Year. I can't wait to show you all the great things I got in store for this next year! Happy New Year! May this New Year find you happy, healthy, and creative!
