Our local camera club has outings throughout the year. One this year was at the Skunk River Flats which is a small wild area next to the Skunk River. It was a sunrise meet on the 5th of December which meant sunrise about 0730 and a temperature of about 8 degrees F! Since digital cameras do not like things this cold for any extended picture, it was a case of get out of the car, take a few shots and get back in to warm both camera and photographer up! The shots are, however, interesting and probably worth the effort.
