As has often been the case during this wonderful pandemic, I needed look no further than my own back yard for a little photographic inspiration.

As I peered out into the backyard I noticed all of these wonderful shadows cast across the snow. Given the subject I figured monochrome was the way to go, and in order to better see how the final images might look in black and white, I set my Fujifilm X100S to Monochrome and headed into the snow.

Good or bad, for better or worse, I had to snap a few shots before the sun got too high into the sky.

And before our dog, Riley had a chance to run through the untracked snow.
