I had my camera balances on my porch with the self-timer to take the image. I do not remember what the time i had it set on. I took it in the afternoon a little while after it finished snowing. Well, since it was winter I thought it was appropriate attire to wear. I wanted to block most of my body and did not want to be awkwardly standing there, so I placed the camera so the tree would be at the end of the image and I would be able to fit on the other part of the image. I was successful in my photos was having the images taken on the same day and time so there is a theme of winter throughout the photos.
