Harsh winter and bad timing

Well I guess the post says it all this winter has been a harsh one with so many ups and downs. I've been really wanting to get out and do some serious shooting but I feel like everytime I want to the conditions aren't or I just can't find the right time to get out there this is Ben a special year for the snowy owl and all I can think about is getting out to get some pictures of your beautiful creatures I've been hearing about them being everywhere near my area. My only problem is I work 2nd shift and in order for me to catch these creatures I need to be there early morning work early evening to catch a glimpse of them. I try to get out on the weekends but it seems lately I've been working on Saturdays. And something always seems to come up on Sunday . I know my time will come and one day I'll have the opportunity to shoot all the wild life that I dream to shoot just right now life tends to be very busy and will lack of vacation time its just not feasible for me . I do have big plans to go to the Adirondack Mountains this year and do some hiking in the high peaks area, this year I might actually attempt to climb Mount Marcy. It is a long hike by here the scenery all the way to the top is absolutely beautiful I plan to take my GoPro and do some videos along the way.  This year when I start my journeys and expeditions I would like to start trying to do one image a day to share with the world , I know a lot of people think 1 image de can't be that hard, well 1 image day in itself is not hard but to get one image a day that's worthy I'm sharing with the world photogenic enough and creative enough can tend to be hard especially when I feel as if I've taken all the pictures I can in the area that I live and I don't really want to repeat sure the same images just in different views. Right now I'm going to leave you with that note and I'm going to proceed with going into work, the one thing we all have to do to be able to become anything in life thats even if its to work until we're able to follow our dreams. No matter how far fetched people might think it is because I am a man with a family my dream is still to travel the world and photograph all of the nature and wildlife I can possibly photograph. It doesn't have to make me rich or famous its just a passion I have within myself to travel the world and capturing moments not everybody gets to see and share them with the world.
So until next time and I'll hope that it won't take so long for me to post again.
I wish everyone well and hope everyone has an opportunity in life to follow their dreams.

Namaste,
Steven Wilson
