You can never go wrong with a photo of flowers. And with -20C temperatures today, I went for the indoor shot. Trying to get together a variety of photographs for my photo class on Wednesday. I'm playing with shutter speed and aperture as I learn to shoot on manual.

Though we haven't had a lot of snow this winter, we have had a lot of grey days with sprinklings of snow. It has slowly accumulated, leaving us with a constantly white landscape. My indoor garden brings me smiles, as the bright colours counteract the monochrome outdoors.
