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.
That's one type of water photo we miss out on down here in Florida. Could I brave 7 degree morning? I'd have to go into a compression chamber first to thicken my blood. Ten years in Florida has a way of making 60 degrees seem cold!
My books are hot off the presses at Blurb! Take a sneak peek and place your order if you're so inclined by clicking on the cover photo above. An eBook version for download to your iPad or iPhone is now available in the iTunes store.
I live in Lewiston, Maine and have for most of my life. I've always had an interest in nature; as a kid I read books by Edwin Way Teal, Rachael Carson, among others, and I used to love studying the Golden Nature Guides. When I got into photography it was natural for me to take pictures of the natural world. A few years ago I got into kayaking and that allowed me to get to places I would never be able to by hiking and of course this gives me more photography oppurtunities. I realized years ago you don't have to travel to exotic locations to get good photographs. I have to admit I'm lucky to be living in a beautiful state with a lot of natural diversity, but I've taken good pictures right in my own back yard and neighborhood.

Brrrr....but it's a great shot! What do you have in that feeder the birds haven't found? Fill it with sunflower seeds, if you haven't already.
Brrr... I used to go skiing in Maine. Such a beautiful state!
That's very, very cool! Pun intended. smile
