When you get used to things, you sometimes stop noticing them. But carrying a camera keeps you alert and open to seeing common things in a different way.
If you live in Winnipeg, Canada, in the winter, you can get tired of the cold and snow. You’ll likely be forgiven for not noticing its interesting shapes, or beauty, when your face is burrowed deep into your hood and scarf.
Or you might notice, but hesitate to take your hand out of your mitt in order to click a photo. Though it can be worth it.
I got out after our first bigger snowfall this winter and decided the parking lot near my apartment building deserved some notice.
I’m not sure if this dotty black trail is from a car’s leaky oil pan or just built-up condensation dripping from its tailpipe.
People and dogs have joined the tire tracks along here.
If you look closely you might even be able to figure out the type of boot that someone is wearing.
But I can’t at all figure out what caused this.

That’s right! In a familiar place you don’t always see it’s beauty specially on the cold winter. Photographying shows the beauty to you. It makes it more real…
However, this pandemic have kild my admiring or enjoying the environment cause I’m only focusing to observe the movements of people. Like is there someone coming on my way or coughing. Also I move a lot less than before…

Yes, you do need to be more careful now. But I walk in quiet areas and move out of the way if someone comes along😊

I love looking at the new trails and swirls in the fresh snow. As you say, there are interesting things to be seen in our otherwise ordinary surroundings.

Last pic. Maybe someone dropped their plastic lunch container in the snow??

Maybe, and the snow covered it up. 😊

I should clarify. The eye mystery is seeing in closer detail the design and trying to figure out what created it. It is truly a visual mystery to me.

The last three photos of the images are fascinating. A mystery to the eye unless I need glasses.
