Winter vacation is over but the photos are still coming off the camera. This is the last major gallery which includes chopping holes in the frozen lake, sledding and enjoying time in the “cabin.” I had such great luck capturing 360 panoramas of the clear night sky that I decided to try the same thing with my Nikon. Much harder to do, especially trying to focus in the dark. Still, I had at least one turn out well that I included here. Enjoy!

Snow on Bass Lake

Two days before Christmas the temperatures soared up toward freezing making for we, slushy snow that was perfect for rolling, packing, snowballs and making snowmen (and snowowls).
