I was able to take a short hike along Slippery Rock Creek. We had our first real snowfall over night and a few flurries were still falling now and then as I picked my way along the stream. The stream was running high and muddy from rains that fell before the snow came. With the sky usually heavly overcast and things either bright white or in dark shadow, it was a tough day of shooting and getting exposures just right. As you can see, I am still trying out this new lense.
