Well, our storm took the southern track on Sunday night, so we ended up with only 2.25 inches of snow. It was a wet snow though and stuck nicely to the trees. On Monday morning everything was very beautiful so Lynne and I went out to shoot pictures. While we were driving around, I decided to shoot some video of the area for you guys. Karl had suggested this after the last storm, but I didn’t do it at the time because I was fighting a cold.

I wish I had narrated the video as I was shooting, but I only made a few comments here and there, so here’s a rundown of what you’re seeing.

We start off leaving Petrifying Springs Park and driving east down County Road A. Then we head south on Sheridan Rd driving parallel to Lake Michigan. You’ll notice in scene 3 that I point the camera to the right for a few seconds, that’s the Pike River. We then drive along the lake shore for a ways heading towards the harbor. You can make out the Kenosha Pierhead Lighthouse in the background. When I swing the camera back to the right, I’m showing one of the marinas near the harbor. In the last scene we are driving through the harbor area and heading for downtown. As we make a left and I swing the camera to show the harbor, my battery dies and that’s the end of the show.

Hope you guys enjoy this little tour of our home town. It gives you a different perspective of areas that you seen in my pictures.  It was fun to shoot this video. Please excuse the jerky camera in spots, it’s hard to handhold a camera on bumpy roads. I plan on shooting more of these videos for you guys in the future.

All of the snow that’s falling in the Sierra Nevada right now has really put me in the mood to go skiing. So I waxed up the skis, grabbed the video camera and headed out to the largest hill I could find in Wisconsin. Here’s the video that I shot this afternoon.

Never fear, I survived the avalanche and lived to ski again

Here’s the video that goes with the pictures from the last post. It really shows how wild Lake Michigan was on that day.

I haven’t been out shooting pictures lately because there hasn’t been much to shoot. Most of the snow melted away during our warm spell and what remains is pretty dirty. I did get out to shoot some video today though. The wind was blowing from the south-east so that meant the waves would be up. I found a nice area of ice and waves and began shooting. One of the things I really wanted to capture today was the sound of the waves and ice. It came through somewhat, but not nearly as cool as it sounds in person.
