Not much of a winter

Most Newfoundland winters are long, cold and full of snow. Not this year. The west has actually had more snow that here! How insane is that?! I've been dying to get outside and take some fun winter shots but with not much snow and me being the chicken that I am to take my camera outside, it needless to say, hasn't happened. I did however manage to bribe Emily to let me take some shots of her out on our back patio. And goodness me, it happened two days in a row! The bribe this time was money rather than candy. And even then, she still doesn't stay still so just when I get the focus perfectly spot on, she moves. I am then left with her hair being so nice and sharp and her eyes a little soft. Oh well, I'm trying so hard to shoot now everyday to start getting practice in. I need more, I need as much as my (not so) little self can handle.
