11-13 January 2005. Ah winter, what a beautiful season, but man is it cold. These pictures were all taken with my digital camera, mostly because I either forgot to take my real camera, or I forgot to take film or it was the only one convenient to carry around in my coat pocket. Oh well at least I got some pictures. This first picture is of my Uncle Dale's property up in northern Michigan. if you look off to the left you will see his car garage, called by him a barn, if you look off to the far right you will see his house, please note which one is lager and determine for yourself his priorities. The next five pictures are of the surrounding area which he took me on a tour of, showing me where he and his sun used to and occasionally still do go dirt-biking, of course they didn't go dirt-biking in the water that's just what I took pictures of. The next three pictures starting with the sheep and going to the foggy road are at my Aunt Darlene's house where she has a couple of pastures fenced off and a barn set up so she can board horses as well as she owns a few of her own, and one friendly sheep named Zelda. The last two pictures are from My Aunt June and Uncle Lowell's house. The first picture was taken early in the morning (ok early for me), it had snowed most of the previous night and there had been little wind so all the hardwood trees still had snow clinging to the tops of there branches. The light from the sun was reflecting off the trees in such a way that it made them look like an ice forest, it was a truly inspiring sight. So I took out the lousiest camera I own, also the only one I had with me and took a picture hoping it would turn out well. I didn't quite capture what I was going for, but I think it turned our good anyways. the last picture was taken later that day as the snow had started to melt rather quickly and my ice forest quickly turned into a normal winter forest.
