Frosty Pine.....

Another frosty photo from yesterday morning.

Happy Thanksgiving....

A couple of days ago we had a lot of rain and wind but last night it was clear and cold and absolutely no wind. Because there was so much moisture in the air there was a real heavy frost this morning. I went out early and roamed the neighborhood. These winterberries are everywhere this year but I took this photo right in my yard. In the next few days I'll be posting more photos from this mornings walk.

Icy Hoodoos.....?

These ice formations reminded me a little bit of the Hoodoo rock formations in Bryce Canyon, Utah.

More Ice....

Here's another photo I took yesterday.

Frigid Flow...

It's been very cold this past week. Frigid temperatures and flowing water create some beautiful ice formations so I went to my favorite spot this morning and took this photo. When I left the house it was 7 degrees.

One Year and Counting...

My internet was out all week and I just got it back, that's why I haven't updated until today. Last Monday made exactly a year since I've been doing this blog, the two photos above are the very first photos I posted so I decided to reprise them.

I've enjoyeed sharing my photos with others this past year and I've also enjoyed visiting other photo blogs and checking out the great photography. Here's to the next year.

Past Color.....

I've been busy the last couple of days installing roof trusses on my addition, it's raining today so I can't be outside. November tends to be kind of a drab month for photography so I looked through my archives for some color.

Leftover Flower....

Here's a photo of a bushy aster that I hadn't posted and didn't put it into my book. Most people think the white petals are the actual flower but the flower blossoms are the yellow center.

Frozen Raindrop....

More November Color...

The leaves on lower growing shrubs tend to stay on the plants a little longer because they're not exposed to the wind as much as a full grown tree.

Backlit Raindrop....

November is really kind of a bland month for photography, everything is a brown monotone but if you look around you can find some color like the tip of this maple branch.

Fallen Leaves....

The leaves are no longer on the trees but are now on the ground.

More Frost....

Another frosty, backlit close up.

Before and After....

The top photo is what the black eyed susan looked like this past summer and the bottom pic is how it looks today.
