CHALLENGE.

Last weeks blog was a spring snow storm, that was supposed to be big but didn't turn out that way. I mentioned that another big storm was do this week and it did happen, 14 inches of snow. The morning the weather cleared, a email informed me that my new computer was coming on this day and I had to be here to sign for it. This was the day I set aside for this blog, now what.

SOLUTION.

I live at 8,400 feet, so there was plenty of snow at my house. My blog would be what kind of snow shots could be found at this location. I went out to shoot a number of times during the day and wouldn't come back in until at least one nice shot was recorded. This made me look close and observe everything. My "X Shot" happened in the afternoon when I noticed the snow in the basketball hoop. It was interesting to see the number of nice shots recorded that day, my computer showed up around 4:30 pm.
