Often February seems like such a very long month.  And this year was no exception, although I wasn't sure how many times I would actually go outside and take photos.  Or just be motivated to take a photo.

It turns out, I took a lot of photos during February.

I took some indoors that were a bit of my photo challenge this month of motion/movement.

I took the long way home and saw the light fading on Lake Winnebago with lots of blues in the air.

I went searching for evidence of ice sculptures or snow sculptures and didn't find these until later in the day and several days after their origin.

I took some photos from our back deck near sunset  with a slow shutter speed and several types of camera movement.   Then dramatically altered them when processing in Lightroom.
 

I walked on some sunny days in our downtown area where the skies were blue and merchants's outdoor signs contrasted well against the sky..

Wildlife in my backyard was a consistent theme.  I heard this before I saw this owl.

Snow, plenty of snow.  Every time you turned around there was even more snow.

And I thought there wouldn't be much variety during February this year.  I was so wrong.
