Frozen Fall
One Bench More
The Bird Feeder
The weather while I was at my Dad’s house was not very conducive to photography. I captured the first image early one morning before the wind started to kick up and cause everyone to run for the house. The second two images I captured from the warmth of the kitchen through the window. The slight dullness is due to the window screen I was focusing through. I think it is time for me to get a feeder for the back yard…
Post and Tree in the Snow
Conifers in Winter
I’m going to consider this my practice image! I have had this image in my head ever since the snow started falling here in Central NY. I keep seeing this grove of conifers with their branches covered and the sun catching everything in the early morning. There was actually one moment already this year where the scene was almost as I envisioned but I was unable to capture it before it disappeared.
The January thaw didn’t help my chances but the snow we just received has re-sparked my desire for this image. It still is not “right” since there is not enough snow on the branches of the trees but it is getting closer. Saturday morning the sun was doing its part but by the time I walked down to the field the clouds decided my walk would be in vain. I did take the opportunity to check out the possible views in the field and from various locations along the road. I’ll be ready when the snow completes my image!
For now another entry in my Monochrome Winter series…
Sunrise Surprise
Trail Safety
My exploration of Rockefeller State Park Preserve was really just a tease for me. I’m thinking I will need to return either during the summer or the fall to see what else this park has to offer. Plus in the few hours that I was there I was able to only walk through about a third of the trails. It is a wonderful place that will be calling to me as the seasons change.
I came upon this fire hydrant along one of the trails and I couldn’t resist capturing an image. There is a theme over on Google+ called Fire Hydrant Friday which I have been having fun contributing to which probably had a part in my decision to raise camera to eye…
