During much of the storm, I was inside working on Nurse Practitioner Continuing Education Units. I’d dash out to take a photo, and come right back in to work. Very early on Saturday morning (2:30am), I was outside shooting and was intrigued by the sight of this chair.
You just never know what will catch the eye of a photographer.

The little birdie at the feeder looks well fed😉
The birds have kept me running to keep the feeder full! I’ll tell ya, it could almost be a full time job!
Beautiful images Laurie 🙂 The chair would have caught my eye also !
And that’s why I love my photographer friends!
It’s the simple things, isn’t it?
yes, yes, yes!
The calm, quiet, peace. Love it
Love it!!
Thank you, Dave.
I love your winter series…maybe you should extend it until the spring!!! Only kidding, LB….or not! ~ Dave
Two great shots
Thank you, although they are a bit incongruent.
Never mind
24/7 photography!
24/7 obsession for sure!
Love the composition of the bench photo. I did take a photo after our last snow, early in the morning. The birds were sleeping 😉

Great! Heading over now!
Love the contrast between the two shots Laurie, both with their own beautiful moods. Perhaps we should start a “middle of the night” photogroup!
Let’s do it! As I’m wide awake and on WP at 1:30am, I’m ready! 🙂
Your bird is very endearing with her little topknot…
I agree! I wish there’d been more light to improve the crispness of the shot, but it was pretty gray at that point in the day.
Studying at 2:30 in the morning? I remember those days!
And aren’t we glad they are gone (most of the time!)
Yeah, there are lots of other things I would prefer to do at 2:30 in the morning. Like sleep!
Looks a bit cold to me 🙂
It was definitely cold outside at 2:30 am 🙂
I think that may be a byproduct of some strange thing called winter.. 😀

Great photos. I’m not a fan of vignetting, but it works well with the bird feeder photo. 🙂
Yep, the whiteness needed some color
These are both lovely scenes in the dark. I really need to get a feeder installed at my new place, so the birds can learn that I am here and I am a pushover. I haven’t spotted a single squirrel in all these vast trees, can you believe it? So very sad for them not to realize there’s a bonafide Crazy Squirrel Lady just waiting to take them in and feed them many peanuts. Anyway, I know the frustration of trying to get the most out of a photo taken in hardly any light, so this one is impressive. Good on ya!
The chair lit from underneath is a perfect example of why I think we are artists first, and then photographers. By my definition, an artist is defined by her way of looking at the world. You’re moving through the dark at 2:30 am, and bam! There’s a scene that grabs you. It wasn’t calculated or planned. You have no choice but to be intrigued, because you are an artist, and you use your camera to express yourself. I’m an artist-writer, because my medium is words. Photos do help a bunch, but I’ll graciously concede the talent to you and the other fabulous photographers on WordPress.
