Water N Ice

Before winter set in last year. I manged in my whole Nano Second of time to get out and capture some interesting images that showed the wondrous beauty in frost. Nothing like the first frost before the onset of winter. It's like magic adding that coating of white on everything it touches. In the first shot I managed to find some plants that still had some berries on it...kinda adds a little contrast into the picture. Here in the second shot I found a back half of a leaf exposed and was amazed at how long some of the crystals of water extended out from the leaf....

The last two pictures are of basic puddles that froze over...I was hoping to capture some the the water designs as the water froze during the night. Interesting perspectives on water and how the molecules change with heat and freezing temperatures.

Managed To Fit In A Walk Between The Drops ~ Part 2

I'm posting the second half of my walk....I tend to notice the smaller things the simple things that seem to make me happy. Doesn't take much does it? But does something need to be large to make us happy....I figured out long ago that Grandma was right it truly is the small and simple things in life that make us happy or what you make of life makes you happy. One or the other are strong and true statements. Take your time and you will see nature reflected back at you in these lovely drops. In the leaf in particular you can see the reflection of a tree turning color. Have a wonderful day :)

Three dops

While out yesterday I took advantage of the morning light...went into UVIC's gardens and got some great pond reflections and some lovely dew and drop shots on foliage....I just love the feel of freshness in these shots....bright, soothing and refreshing all at the same time....Love what water can do for an image.

Flower Reflections

I only captured the flower's reflections in the water today without accually seeing the subject matter...... Love water

Pond Reflections 2

In this shot I captured more of the sky and the sun.

Pond Reflections

Here are a few shots that I took using water to display my subject matter.....I even managed to display the sky and the clouds...

The Effects of Rain

Well it has been a few days since I added a new pic. Victoria had a lot of rain today, but when the sun came out I took the opportunity to try and capture the beauty in lovely water drops. Some are stunning, while others are mystical.
