A slightly unorthodox comp from the well documented Trillium Lake. I still laugh to myself whenever I visit this lake because when I first began shooting this was one of the first places I visited just before winter. A month later I went back and they had closed the road due to snow. Determined to get a great sunset with snow around the lake I hiked all the way in there (slowly jogging at times through the snow because time was running out) and got there just in time...to find the lake frozen. I hiked back out in the dark, cold and defeated and thinking I must be an idiot for not realizing that the lake would be frozen. I have a few stories like this one but choose not to tell them very often. ;)

Here is another image from our first night of snowfall here in Seattle last week before being snowed in and driven into eternal boredom. I truly love snow and especially watching it fall but once the ice hits I am ready to tap out. :) I am sure my first image from this night has spread around the world by now after being picked up by Tumblr and re-shared a gazillion times. I really dislike that website and it, as well as a few others have caused me to place my watermarks in less conspicuous places.

Anyway.... many people have been asking me for widescreen desktop size images of mine that they could use for wallpapers or screensavers. This weekend I finished 5 collections of wallpapers available for purchase from my website for those who are interested. They can be found by
jumping over to www.aaronreedphotography.com/ and browsing the ScreenSavers tab.

Bluey and I finally escaped the house today after the Snowpocalypse finally began to melt and ran up Highway 2 to hunt for frosted waterfalls. The snow was 2 feet deep and melting so it was crazy to try to get anywhere having to pack down the snow as we went. Ice & snow were falling from the trees in huge amounts creating additional hazards as we moved along. We got back to the car wet & freezing and I loved it. Bluey wasn't as happy with the cold I don't think. :) We ran into a couple gentlemen there who had seen my shot from this area last year which had brought them to the same spot to hunt for images to create. One of them one from Siberia so I don't think the snow and cold even fazed him. Hope everyone is having a good night out there....and no...this was NOT an easy exposure.

Seattle's waterfront from Pier 66. We are "chillin" in the remnants of snowmageddon around here and here at our house we got about 4" of snow with a nice 1/2" of icy frosting today. You know what that means??? Another day off work, that's what!

We had a little bit of snow around the Seattle area today and after seeing Dene post a fb pic (no she didn't bother to tell me the sky had cleared) I jammed over to the bridge to check it out. Her and Hai were up there already freezing and firing away. There were some fast moving clouds that lit up with some pretty nice color about 15 minutes after sunset. I stuck around until the last light finally died out and bailed home just in time to slide up the hill to the house as it was freezing up.

Hope everyone is out enjoying the snow and having a little fun while staying safe.
