Remember me?

Probably not....When was that last post anyway? January? Anyhow, I have created a new project for myself. I took some winter pictures and have a collection of those that I like and now that it is spring, I have challenged myself to create a collection of spring photographs also. Some things are obvious like tulips and daffodils, budding and flowering trees, April showers (some lightning shots would be great), but I know there has to be more. Clothing changes with the seasons and I didn't get any of that in my winter shots, people wash and wax their cars, colors are bright, Easter, those are also signs of spring. If I have any readers, what says spring to you? I tend to focus on nature, I enjoy it, it calms me, but I know there's so much more. speak up.

Here's a few of my winter pictures since after all this is about photography.

This tree stands alone in a farmer's field near my house. last year's corn stalks still keeping it company. A couple weeks after taking this picture, I saw a hunter sitting under the tree who had built a blind from the corn stalks. What a picture that would have made.


This shot is of some bare stems in my own yard. There isn't much in it, but the depth of field acting on the stems in the foreground and background make this one very interesting to me.
Here is the Little Miami River as it flows through the Narrows Reserve in January. Ice had weighed down the tips of the branches to the point they were touching the water.
And at last, my personal favorite. This is a stream in the Beavercreek wetlands park, accessed from Philips Barn Park. Just down the hill at the start of the trail this stream cascades under a bridge. This shot was taken under the bridge at the top of the cascade, just after sunset. The flowing water next to the still ice was beautiful.
