On Sunday morning, the trees looked like this: We had had freezing rain the day before, and the angle of the sun was lighting up the thousands of tiny frozen drops. I hadn’t even noticed at first, having had my coffee and done some marking for school. Then, when I was doing dishes, I lookedContinue reading “One Magical Morning”

Water on My Window
While washing dishes, I noticed the way the sunlight glistened off the melting frost on the window. The dishes could wait. I grabbed my camera and while the dishwater cooled, I captured the light. Playing around with the focus and the aperture settings, I was able to create an abstract composition of a few drops of water. Even the tiniestContinue reading “Water on My Window”
Bokeh Fun
Love my Lensbaby at Christmas!
I Heart Christmas
After a busy few weeks, I finally took my camera out to capture the Christmas decorations around the house. It is a fun time to use my Lensbaby, and normally it’s the lights on the tree that work best with the creative aperture kit. When I aimed my camera at this pompom tree, though, IContinue reading “I Heart Christmas”

January Thaw
The ice becomes a million drops of water, clinging to branches in the sun. Lucky for me and my camera, it creates a magical composition. Now, if only we could keep these mild temperatures…
A Pretty Accident
I was having a clumsy day. It seemed like everything I picked up, I dropped. Including this glitter. I was picking up my daughter’s craft supplies and accidentally spilled her glitter all over the kitchen floor. My first reaction was to swear. But while I stood there wondering whether to get down and pick upContinue reading “A Pretty Accident”
Little Circles of Light
I love bokeh. Here, amber and gold glitter in the background of the frosted grass. From far, this part of my yard is a mess of weeds and unsuccessful vegetables. Up close, it is a landscape of endless photo possibilities. With my camera in the general direction of the sun, I was able to captureContinue reading “Little Circles of Light”
