Photo Challenge: Week 2

I will have to say, as much as I hate being out in the cold, I couldn't wait to get the next shot! I actually shot this week's photo two days after the last one.  I was so excited to use my camera again.

This week's challenge is Cold

It has been extremely cold where I live lately.

We have had severe wind chill warnings. I took this screen shot as soon as I came inside from taking this weeks photo. I was frozen! Plus we have about a foot of snow!

My poor horse, he had icicles around his nose.  It was so cold and there was so much snow around me, I wasn't quite sure what would capture "cold". Obviously, no matter what I photographed it would have looked cold, considering the snow.  But I wanted to capture something that showed just how cold it actually was.  I think this photo did just that.  As Rumor would breathe, the air he exhaled was immediately frozen to his fur.

While I'm at it, I want to introduce you to my boy, Rumor.  I love his playful personality.  He would follow me anywhere if I let him (and if I had food). He has come such a long way since I got him.  I couldn't ride him and he wasn't very trusting.  Now I can do almost anything with him. I've let a four year old walk him around and he was perfect for her. 

I'm excited to get out and take next weeks photo! I will be starting my photography classes this week and I'm excited for that as well. I'm eager to start learning new things and apply them to the photos I'll be taking for these challenges!
