Month: December 2020
Some reflections on 2020
For me, 2020 was not a bad year despite the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Christmas Tree Lights
The holidays were a little different this year due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. After my first Christmas tree getting lost in the mail, I was sure if the second one I ordered would make it in time! Luckily it came a few days before Christmas!
Being that the tree came so close to the holiday, I didn’t have time to order decorations! The tree is pre-lit so it did not really need any decorations to feel festive!
Snow Resting
I took this macro shot of snow on one of the bushes in front of my house. You can see some of the details of the snow as it rests on the bush! I love macro photography because it allows you to focus on more of the details in the photo.
Wall of Snow
After our record-breaking snowfall of nearly 3 feet of snow in the middle of December, the snow mounds were massive. At some point, the snow mounds were 3 to 4 feet high. To make the snow mounds even more dramatic, I shot this photo from a low angle.
Historical snow storm drops 2 to 3 feet across Upstate NY
I can’t believe how much snow fell across the Capital Region during the overnight hours. Many areas saw 1-2′ of snow with some spots even seeing more than 30 inches.
The fascinating part about this storm is that it wasn’t that strong but was enhanced by an abnormally strong high pressure in Canada.
This storm rivals last year’s storm that dropped 2 feet of snow across Upstate NY. Here are some photos from the storm:

The COVID-19 Pandemic has brought uncertainty, anxiety, fear, and change.
