Capturing The Sun

I shot this photo on Thurday. As you can see, the snow was still hanging around. The sun and blue sky was so beautiful.

When everything aligns, shots like this are possible. You capture the suns rays, and still manage to get deep shadows and great color. This is one of those photos.

There was a thin layer of ice on the pond. It was so very still. No birds or other wildlife today. Well, I take that back .. I saw one woodpecker.

Enjoy what remains of your weekend. Make it a great week!

A Sun Break

We finally had a couple of beautiful days. Yes, it was still cold, but when the sun shows up, and the sky is blue, my mind seems to work better.

This is the Stillwater river. In the second photo you can see the thin layer of ice that has survived the sun. The trees are mostly bare, and while some foliage has survived this first blast of arctic air, its clear we have a long winter yet to come.

Fall On The River

Teresa took this photo last week. This river was low, but not as dry as what I shared yesterday. It looks so peaceful and as still as a sheet of glass in many spots. I love nature.

What River?

I shot these photos while we were hiking last week at Hueston Woods. This is the creek or river that runs through the park ... it was dry. (The second photo was tough due to the lighting conditions .. I would normally have deleted this photo, but it will work).

The cold weather has arrived. Stay warm!

A Bridge .. A Trail

I shot this last weekend. I’m shocked that there is still some green,but I’m seeing that. We drove down south to where my youngest son and his family live near Cincinnati and its still beautiful there.

That small bridge leads to a trail that follows the tree line, and then circles around to the east. (Facing north-west in this photo). I prefer to hike when its a little warmer, but the temperature has been on the low side this week. Regardless, it’s still beautiful outdoors.
