SHADOW HUNTERS CONTEST ROUND 164 MORNING SNOW AND WILDLIFE.

in Shadow Hunters3 years ago

Upon waking, I looked out my window to see this glistening blanket of pure white powder. The sun was glowing and sending me a message. Today will be fabulous!

Get the camera

The shadows multiplied as I walked the homestead. The air was crisp and clean, lung bonus.

I worked my way through the newly fallen snow, it was light and fairly easy to maneuver .

As I happily snapped away with my Canon Power Shot SX530 HS with a HD 50x optical zoom.

Collecting shadows everywhere I walked.

The longer I walked, the more shadows I found. Thanks to my friend @melinda010100, I now have a greater appreciation of shadows, such cool stuff. You are so creative.

I have walked in the woods on our farm for many years now, never afraid of being alone. I know most animals that live in the wild are more afraid of us humans than their worst predictors.

Homesteaders like us love nature. We appreciate it's beauty and see it as a gift.

Our bird feeders are filled daily, ❤️ our #featheredfriends.

But most recently we noticed the deer are moving closer to the house. Seeing their tracks, we figured these poor young doe are hungry after such a harsh winter.

Problem solved. Picked up a 50lbs. bag of deer corn. Spread it around to feed those beautiful animals.

Whoa, check out the shadows the deer brought with them.

You are not getting snow right now are you? Hopefully those lovely shots with all the shadows and fuzzy animals is from last month.

Nothing better than the great outdoors and I hope you win the contest!

Thanks very much, nice badge.

You're welcome @farm-mom, thanks for your support! 😊🌹😊🌹😊🌹 Happy weekend!

😁😎😍

How nice to have deers so close. The shadows on the snow are wonderful, but I love more the ones on the back of the deer.

That was a beautiful morning, perfect for shadows.

Nice ones of the deer! Sunny day and fresh snow = lots of shadows :))

Good morning @goldenoakfarm, yea, that was the perfect day for shadow, gorgeous out.
The snow piles have finally melted, thank goodness. Of course now comes the mud, get those rubber boots out. You can't leave home without them. hehe

That shot with the 3 shadows on the deers back is phenomenal! You had a fantastic shadow hunt.
Thanks so much for entering the Shadow Contest! ♥️

Good day to you. I thought that shot was pretty cool too. The deer are so plentiful here and they are all coming out of hiding to find some food. Great shadows that morning plus those animals roaming through...Bonus!
I think I am finally getting the hang of these shadow hunters contests, lots of fun, enjoying this community very much.
Stay well my friend!

It is a fun group to be part of and your post is perfect! ♥️

When I see images like this I start to miss the snow and its beauty. Then I remember it's easier to look at from a warm place. 😉 So thank you for sharing so I can view from a warm place. 😁

Good morning @minismallholding.
I woke up today to a snow covered world again. We thought we had seen the last of it. Pretty though. Took a few pictures through the window. I t was too cold for just pj’s 😜 and boots, my usual morning attire.
Nice to hear from you.

Good morning @minismallholding.
Woke up to a snow covered world 🌍 again! We thought we had seen the last of it, nope. Lake effect snow from the Finger Lakes of Upstate Ny. Gets us almost daily in winter.
It won’t last, already warning up.
I did get some pictures through the window, too cold to go out in just pj’s and boots, my early morning attire 😜

Enjoy the day

I didn't mean to send 2 messages, but I thought I lost the first one while on ecency. It doesn't seem to register right away, my bad or good, twice the love😊

It happens. I usually just delete the second one if I realise. There may have been many other times when I didn't realise, though. 😅

Oh yeah, as the saying goes, shit happens. 🤦‍♀️
