Winter pictures are always remain popular among the viewers. Winter days having fog and snow are amazing for photography lovers. Photo artists from around the world wait for this season and some time they travel far long distances to shoot. Following are some Best Winter Pictures selected by photo.net- editors.

Have you ever imagine of seeing best pictures of winter with animals roaming in the streets and human riding on the cycle going through the mist lit by street light. If not then see the digital photography of night by Mikko Lagerstedt. He is from Finland and most of his work is of his own environment. He mastered in night photography with a different taste. His exposure level is amazing and composition are stunning.

Many people come here in good weather to camp, boat, fish on and on. Many people do not get to see what we get to see in the winter. We chose where we wanted to go, and headed out. We were told of some snow but the weather channel is not real pacific here. A little snow mixed in with rain. Ok whatever what is new?? Than we got down into the canyon..... Saturday it just dumped on us! Snow is no big deal, it is the black ice we worry about!! More about my getting wildlife photography here in Oregon at my web site..... What we wont do to get that photo!!

The winter wedding brings in a few advantages while three are even some additional matters to be considered. These are the matters influencing the wedding photography packages, which we are to explore here.

We have snow, no big surprise seeing what time of the year it is. Stopping off at the horse camp the Robbins came over for their photographs to be taken. They made their presents known by coming right to the tree that was nearest me. There is two sets of photographs. This first set, this robbin was very funny!! Appeared to want me to see him/her feed on the juniper berries.

This is my white Holiday Cactus. Not a true cactus, it resembled a cactus and the species likes to bloom in winter time. Being dormant the rest of the year. The leaves itself is striking and gives a different look in the garden.

While deep in the Ochoco Mountains we ran across a nice flowing creek. I love running water and just had to stop!! Upon inspection of where we were it was obvious this spot had been used as a hunting camp. The legs of the elk and the "meat hangers" (we laughed for I am sure there is a real name for them ha) , that were nailed to the trees. The feathers laying around looked as if maybe a turkey was in the mix with the elk? Even a spot for a bathroom. Gave us this impression. Guy wondered further down the creek then I for things happen to catch my eye. So I was wondering around on my own taking shots of the ice that was found where the water was not running fast. As I was doing my thing I heard some racket that was obviously coming from the trees and from birds. As you can imagine wild creatures do not just sit still so one can snap off photographs, so off I went to get this loud birds photographs! There were at least 3 of these birds, however non of them were all that impressed with any of us there! From the information I gathered of this bird, these must of been truly wild Gray Jays!! Not yet ingrained with human presents. I first thought this was a nutcracker. We have many of those around so it seams. Same family as these Gray Jays, but so is the steller's jay,blue jay and the western scrub jay , the crows, the ravens there is a lot of species in the Corvidae family!! From the sub species of the Gray Jay and getting these photographs in the Ochoco mountains this determined these to be the Bicolored Gray Jay. One thing all these birds have in common is, they are very smart!! Smarter then humans give them credit for! Over the Cascade Mountains there is yet another sub species of the Gray Jay over there with different needs and habits. That Gray Jay does not like snow, the ones here better like snow! Like all birds of the Corvidae family, they are pretty much scavengers, however it appears all the species of the Gray Jay have different food s

A group of photos taken in two places that Chicagoans find convenient, when they escape from the winter: largish domed gardens, a little big to just be called "greenhouses"; these places have full grown trees living inside of them. Emphasis, chosen by those submitting, seems to have been on shots taken very close in - "macros".

I pay a lot of attention to Ravens. Some of my best photographs came to be because of the ravens. Ravens are really just a big crow. They are a very intelligent bird, which I guess some can argue with. They work as a team. As a family unit and are very bold creature. More than one raven is called "An unkindness of ravens", I can see why because wow can they drive off the biggest of creatures! There are ten species of the Raven with two more that are said to be extinct. The Magpie appears to be tolerated by the Raven, though they too are finally ran off by the bigger Raven. The Magpie we have here are very smart birds, though I really do not "listen" to them as I do the Raven. After seeing the all the Ravens in a small clearing it did not take Guy long to stop the truck and off I went into the brush. Guy seen a little of what the Ravens were doing, this was running off the eagles. There were two eagles. One was a big Golden Eagle, the other was a young smaller Bald Eagle. Many of these two species of eagles are showing up together these days. I have not noticed this in years past, but this year WOW has this been obvious! The Golden Eagle standing on the prey is the first thing we noticed after the Ravens. The prey I could not identify. Did I want to identify it, not really!! It was white and it appeared to have died some time ago. One thing people do not understand about Eagles, the Golden Eagle and the Bald Eagle is, they will take a meal whether they themselves hunted it down, or if it died by some other means. Eagles will do their best to steal prey as well. The species of eagles are opportunists. They can be scavengers. The Raven were doing the best they could to run off the Eagles, but the Golden Eagle was having no part of being ran off by Ravens! The young Bald Eagle was trying to grab some of the meal when I was getting close, but took off up into a tree to watch. These are the photographs of this event.

The mule deer have their own personalities. This is a given to us who watch them, photograph them. Here are some shots I got of the Mule Deer hiding behind the juniper trees and brush or peeking out of where they can to watch me watching them! One doe is so afraid she is still eating HAHA! The bucks are now loosing their antlers as seen in another one of my posts. I do worry for the young, it is winter time. Not a good time for young to be born or for the older young who are not experienced with getting away from hungry predators. But the way the world works when the older, experienced bucks are the ones the hunters want, leaving their duties to the younger inexperienced bucks.

Meet the Varied Thrush birds of the Pacific Northwest. The Varied Thrush have been showing up along with other wintering birds for a couple years now!

Ontario-based photographer Michael Davies timed this impressive shot of his friend Markus hurling a thermos of hot tea through the air yesterday in -40°C weather. At such frigid temperatures water freezes instantly to form a dramatic plume of ice. For the last decade Davies has worked as a photographer in the fly-in community of Pangnirtung in Canada's High Arctic, only 20km south of the Arctic Circle, a place that sees about two hours of sunlight each day during the winter.

This cold snap came in and here are some of the photographs of the ice covered vegetation and on top of the ice is the snow. You can see which way the wind blew at the freezing point. Ya, it was cold Sunday when we were out and about! The wildlife still needs to eat, they still need to hunt, and they still need to be outside doing their thing. No matter what the weather is like.

We have several of these herons around this part of central Oregon. I would of thought they would leave when the snow started falling, but this bird proved me wrong! It was foggy, it was cold and it was snowing Sunday! But here this bird was!

First thing we seen last Saturday is this herd of Elk. They were pretty close to our little town! They were laying down in this farmers field. But when they noticed someone giving them attention they started getting up and getting nervous. The morning was very nasty weather wise. Snow was falling, it was foggy and I really did not want to see the elk running in this weather. These all look like bulls. These elk we have here are very..... shy? Paranoid? In the field they had nothing to hide behind.

It is that time of the year again. The bucks are loosing their antlers. This buck looks rather funny doesn't he with only one antler? It has to be uncomfortable to run and such with the wight on one side!

When we left the house the temperature was in the teens, 14 or so. We headed to the creek to let the dogs out to play for a short time. It was really to cold out to let the dogs out of the warm truck for to long. These are some of the shots I got of the icy creek, It was really to cold to hold the camera still. I am a wimp when it comes to the cold! It did reach 25 degrees today in the sunshine!!
