“Ghost Leaf”
“Clear and Cold”
With bonus reflected trees.
“Creation Blues”
Actually, frost on top of my car this morning.
“Quality of Light”
Another view of Brice Creek Falls.
“Art of a River”
From a technical standpoint, this is a pretty horrible photo. But I still like the way it evokes the confusion of the water on Brice Creek yesterday.
“Brice Creek Falls”
One of the stops on today’s 16-mile hike. I’m so glad to live in Oregon.
“Confusion”
The gardening sites tell me azaleas bloom in April or May in Zone 8b, where I live. So according to this bush down the road I’ve misplaced at least two months somewhere.
“Forest Plesiosaur”
Prehistoric animal sighting in the fog.
Phone Fatigue
Google just spammed my phone with a list of great new Android features. As usual there is not a single one of them that I have any interest in using. Honestly, the main reason I have an Android phone at all is to have GPS-enabled maps. Oh, and to run the Olympus OI.Share app. I don’t think either of those requires phone service. Perhaps I should cancel the contract, keep the phone as a wifi + GPS device, and get a flip phone for the half dozen phone calls I actually make or take in any given month.
“Echo of a Farm”
I’m pretty sure this bit of ironmongery is an old well head. Now though it’s a lichen farm.
“Winter Remnant”
A gray shot from a very gray day. The structure of trees against sky is a continuing fascination for me.
“Frosting”
Well, actually, fungus. But it sure looks like a poorly-executed cake frosting flower.
“Chomp!”
Perhaps this isn’t one mushroom eating another, but I can’t unsee it.
“Foggy Hills”
“Peekaboo”
“Hazy Diamond”
Diamond Peak is 30 or 40 miles up the river from where I was standing on Mount Pisgah. So yeah, the view was hazy, but most of the time you can’t see it at all from here due to clouds.
“Drunken Sailors”
We’ve had strangely mild winter weather so far, but looks like the hard frosts the past couple of nights finally did in these mushrooms.
“Spray”
Some lichen with the frost melting off in the sun.
“Rainbow Rays”
Well, I don’t know if the constraints really helped, but I did get some photos that I rather like. Here’s one, even though it doesn’t quite capture the colors in the fog that I saw in person.
Sunday I took out two camera bodies, five lenses, flash gear…and only got a couple photos I really liked. So today I’m going to try something different: one camera body, two lenses I don’t frequently use, one tiny flash. Let’s see if this constraint=creativity equation works out for me.
