Lethbridge River Bottom after a storm

The Lethbridge river bottom, lots of shoots close to home. Staying home can be a good thing some days! 

In the dead of winter I sometimes just need to get out and take pictures. Recently after a huge dump of snow hit southern Alberta the Lethbridge river bottom seemed like a good place to head out to. It is close to home and my office. So I could head out easily without a lot of preparations.

No travel to the Lethbridge River Bottom

The good thing with shooting close to home is that if the subjects are not cooperating you have not spent a lot of time and money driving. The other nice thing is that you can go back easily if you find a sweet spot.

Sometimes we feel that if we are not driving a long distance that it is not as exciting. Well sometimes no matter how much you travel you will not find better photography subjects then a few minutes from home.

One of the newest residents are the Pheasants. They are so colorful that they can brighten even the dullest winter day.
