winter

There are a few places I return to throughout the year. One of them is Green Bridge, shown here. I enjoy peering into the depths and the layers of blacks and greys set against the texture of the contrasting snow.

mourning doves

Winter, while especially cold these last few weeks is still a beautiful time.  This couple of mourning doves was huddled just outside my window. I didn't even need to get dressed....only a bit of stealth as to not ruffle their feathers.

flashback

It is good to let your hair down every now and then and let the inner child loose.....take things a little less seriously, it is good sound  therapy.  I have many images of a flood control project known locally as "The Slants". It is the same place that experiences the ice jam flooding and the strong possibility of a bridge being washed out just about every first melt...it was being monitored as the temperatures hit the 50 degree mark New Years Day. That said, it makes the psychedelic aspect of this image all the more fun!

Woodlawn Beach was the setting for this fine image.

winter is not yet a week old and already I am tiring from the dark & cold season....an image from the warm days of late summer and things going to seed are always a relief for the mind, body & spirit.

Merry Christmas
