After the Snowstorm

The morning after the snow,

everything was so beautiful!

It was a lovely morning to go for a walk.

Starfish in the Snow

Trying to photograph a clear glass starfish,

while the snow is falling on it,

is rather pointless.

I started experimenting with other settings

in my editing program,

and got some interesting results.

Snow Angel

With all the fluffy snow we got yesterday, I decided to make a snow angel in the middle of my back yard.

It was fun!!!

Jake walked in the impression, but was baffled by it.



Baby Aloe Vera Plants

Last fall, I repotted my aloe vera, and thinned it out some. Now it is sending up new shoots. They are about an inch tall.

Clementines

I have been feeling blah lately, and my photography has been suffering.

But then, I was unloading the groceries, and set the clementines in the sunlight on the stove,

and had to grab my camera...

It was hard to choose my favourite images to share with you...

I did stop to put the ice cream in the freezer, first, though...

Morning Sun, Dark Sky

Last week, I was walking in the early morning with the sun behind me and dark clouds coming in from the west.

That made for some dramatic skies. There was even a rainbow for a minute...

Blackbirds

A flock of blackbirds sitting in a birch tree.

A lovely contrast with the blue sky.

Tree Bark

I don't know what sort of trees these are,

but the trunks are so interesting, the way the bark peels off.

Leaf Trapped in Ice

One of the wonderful things about snow, is the way a dark object can become warmed by the sun, and sink into the snow.

Sunlight through Ice

During the thaw last week, the snow that had been on the fence melted into ice.

Black Eyed Susans in Winter

Last winter,

I noticed the stark beauty

of black eyed Susans in winter.

In frost or in sun.

Morning Light on the Ice

I was walking along the berm beside the pond, and caught the dawn light reflecting off the surface of the ice.

Ducks in the Park

When I was in Woodstock last month, the ducks and geese were sitting beside the pond, hoping I had some bread for them.

Winter Flowers

There are not a lot of flowers in winter,

but the frost sure livens up the ones I can find.
