Daily walk: frozen foliage/frosty ferns


My "walk around the block" isn't a "block" at all, but rather a long road. And my photo subjects are pretty much limited to nature. For someone who enjoys shooting fishing boats, buildings, cars, signs, etc., this is challenging.

I go out, usually with my iPhone or my pocket-sized little Canon, and see what I can find.

It's been cold and frosty here of late (seems like the entire United States is cold and frosty), and was surprised to find ferns still in a tropical green color. But not surprised to find big-leaf maple and alder leaves huddled together, each with a crisp and icy patina.

Soon the blackberry vines will begin leafing out in their quest to take over the world; new green buds will appear on trees; and one day, when I least expect it, a baby bunny or two or four will appear out in the yard and the cycle will begin again.

A walk around the block...

I put the 20mm "pancake" lens on the Lumix G2 this morning and went for a quick walk around the block. The sun hadn't yet come up from behind the trees and everything had a lovely, soft glow about it, especially this one yellow fern. I love how it stands out from the subdued background. ©Carol Leigh

Tie-Dyed Fern Frond

It almost looks as though the Easter Bunny used watercolors to paint each individual little fern frondette, doesn't it? Nope, it's just the painted background layer showing through. ©Carol Leigh
