Pics from today's snowshoe hike (Keith... taken with the Canon)

Here are a few pics from a snowshoe hike from the cabin up to the bridge via the beaver dam. No doggies as they aren't allowed at the cabin . At least they are having fun at the doggie resort.

Simply stunning! Great pics, so so so not jealous at all

Oh how I envy you. Just the snow, not the scenery but it is very beautiful, great pics.

Wow, that's so beautiful!

Lovely pics.
But aside from the content, that lens looks sharp (and with a wide aperture - is it a zoom with f2.8 or lower max aperture, or are you using various primes?)

Not using various primes. It is a EF 70-300 F/4-5.5 IS USM lens. It takes amazing pics. It is extremely sharp. Didn't drop the dough to get the super fine macro. I have to stand back nearly 5 ft to get the macro shots, but it does pick up great detail. Got it for a steal at $350 versus it normally sells for $650 here. There are some nicer lenses for the wider angles but I'm not in love with Canons. Think I may try out some others.

Edit: left out a key word "not"

Looks far to cold for me

Wow cracking shots there Ben, where about is the cabin ??It looks beautiful

Beautiful photos and scenery. Oh what a joy to see blue sky

Ben your livin the dream mate, cabin in the snow

A lot of the lads on the american Jeep forum I use are posting up pics of trips out in the snow for a bit of off road fun

Kathy, it is in Lake Tahoe.

Andy, planning on it. I'm right by the rubicon trail but have to go all the way around the lake to get to it (1 hr drive). Lots of off road opportunities in the snow. Did a bit of drifting in some lots.

"Rubicon Trail" ... ... I hate you (tho I would think your Yota is a bit posh for that type of trail isnt it ? $-) )

You should see the Mercedes G, new Land Cruisers and Range Rovers take it. I need to remove my nerf bars, pull the flaps and skirts and bolt on the rock sliders and I'm good to go. Plenty of power and I'm running 24 inches of clearance and armor. Rubicon is a beast! Meet and see people from all over the world coming to do that one.

I'm not jealous. I don't even like snow.

Do it do it do it do it do it do it ... ... I'd be there like a shot is lived over there mate ... in fact, when I win the lotto, I think I will travel the states and Canada in an Earth Cruiser
