Sightseeing

It's a mountaintop forest?  Maybe.

It's a miniature forest?  You're closer.

It's a miniature frost forest?  You're much closer.

It's a miniature frost forest on top of a Subaru?  You've got it!

I kinda love my macro lens

because it opens up a whole tiny, tiny visual world 

for me to explore.

Feeling a bit like Gulliver, today.

Hope your world is filled with wonders,

both big and small!

November Dawn

It was early, and crisp.

Mist was swirling across the lake as golden 

light cut through the haze.

A magical bit of lighting,

there one moment and gone the next.

Wishing you great light,

if only for a moment!

Frosty

Frosty mornings and pleasant days describe weather in the north woods of late.

For those in the US, I hope the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday 

finds you with much to be thankful for.

Blessings to you!

Frosty Morn

"In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary."  ~ Aaron Rose

This time of year often finds us waking up to a frost encrusted world.

It looks to me like Mother Nature has added a sugar coating to everything!

So, a couple mornings last week found me out photographing our yard and

what's left of my garden.

These experiences made me think about the accuracy of photographer, Aaron Rose's quote.

My equation would read something like this -

Scraggly, unassuming garden + Frost + Sparkling, morning sunlight =

Spectacular fantasy land, especially from a macro perspective!

Eventually, the brilliant sunlight melted all the frost crystals 

resulting in water droplets everywhere.

More magic.

Finally, I left the garden with my treasure trove of images;

ready for the warmth of my kitchen and some hot tea.

Wishing you just the right light, at the right time,

 to make everything extraordinary!
