Photography while Snowed In

Brrr... it is cold here in Texas! While I write this, it is 19 degrees. Which is great, seeing as to how it was 9 degrees earlier. The office has been closed because of the roads being covered in ice and snow. It looks like everything may be shut down again tomorrow as well.

Ava and I were looking for something to do yesterday since it was too cold to really play outside. We spent about a half hour in the backyard, but since the wind chill brought it down to -2, we quickly ran out of fun things to do. We warmed up with some hot chocolate and have done lots of fun stuff inside since then. From puzzles, books, an animated movie, building a blanket fort and even doing some photography.

Ava helped me find interesting things around the house to photograph and we had lots of fun doing it. Her favorite was the train. After a brief break of running around the house yelling "chu chu" she helped me set it up and photograph it. Teressa has been happy to have some extra help around the house too, so it's a win win. Enjoy the photos and let me know what you think!


We grabbed this apple off the counter and sprayed some water on it. These are the best apples I have had in years, by the way. We got them from Costco. There are a few different kinds there though so you'll have to ask Teressa which ones these are.




Don't you love the way that an iPod photographs? We are going to be selling 2 or these by the way, if anyone is interested in a gently used one. I have an 8gb and 16gb iPod touch. 3rd generation I believe. I think we got them last year, but don't really use them very much.



This is a pill box that Teressa picked up when travelling in Scotland. I didn't even know what it was, but Ava thought it was cool so in front of the camera it went!



Teressa got this train while on a trip with her Dad. She was like 10 or 13 (don't ask me, i'm not sure what happened to 11 and 12. that's just what she told me) and she took a train ride with her Dad for her birthday. I think that is so cool though to have this from that special time with her Father.
