I came across the following poem when looking up snowdrops and it sums up the last week or so pretty well:
"I wonder if the sap is stirring yet,
If wintry birds are dreaming of a mate,
If frozen snowdrops feel as yet the sun
And crocus fires are kindling one by one:
Sing robin, sing:
I still am sore in doubt concerning Spring."
Christina Rossetti – from ‘ The First Spring Day’ (1830-1894) – English Poet
These snowdrops emerged on a hillside several days ago, which meant I didn't have to get down in the mud to capture an eye level view of them. They've since experienced heavy frost, snow, and rain, which left me in doubt about spring too - at least until today, which was finally warm and sunny.

Although our holiday home is only about four miles from Polperro, we rarely go there. It's a beautiful tradititional fishing village on the south coast of Cornwall, but it does attract vast crowds of people. The worst thing is that the car park is about three-quarters of a mile away from the harbour, up the hill. And it costs £5 for three hours. So when I do go I tend to take a fair few photos. Apologies for that. This is one of the traditional views of the harbour, but I simply can't resist it.
About 30 minutes prior to my last post from Kaw Point. Snowflake crop circles floating down the Missouri River. The wall in the water is actually where the Kansas and Missouri Rivers meet. A boundary/divide of two states in the chilly waters.

“Class is an aura of confidence that is being sure without being cocky. Class has nothing to do with money. Class never runs scared. It is self-discipline and self-knowledge. It's the sure-footedness that comes with having proved you can meet life. ”

About 2 weeks prior to the visit to Devil's Tower, Wyoming (above) there was a major wind and hail storm ! It brought down several trees - so I took this shot - fallen trees, bright sunny day and all!

About the location:
Last night I was lazing around the house, not really motivated to do anything. At around 2:00am I realized that sunrise was only a couple of hours away so I checked the Yahoo weather map conveniently located in the titlebar in Flickr, and it was showing a thin cloud layer to the west moving around 5 mph in my direction. This location is only 35 minutes from my house so I decided that I would stay up through the night and get a super early start. I always face a difficult choice on my way up into the mountains. If I head west on Hwy 138 then I have only this view without any backup locations, but if I head east I have several other options but no view that includes the city, so I have to feel pretty confident about the cloud coverage to head west but I could feel the light coming on this morning. This is a view over Lone Pine Canyon road, the city in the distance, because of the angle looks like one but is actually 3 cities, San Bernardino, Redlands and Beaumont blending together and leading up to Mount San Jacinto in the background.
About the shot:
This was shot using a technique in which you trick the camera into thinking something it's not seeing. I first set the camera to spot metering and metered the sky. Then it set the camera to underexpose by 2 stops switch to manual focus and refocus on the city lights, then I light painted the foreground with a couple of lights at a WB of 5000k.
Thank you for taking the time to visit and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! :)
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.
the balance between learning and relaxing ...
we arrived at the Rolex Learning Center before 9am on a Saturday morning and were almost alone there with only a few students ... but the picture changed quickly and within an hour the buildings were full of students who were happy to go there even on an early Saturday morning to study, the atmosphere was fantastic ... quietly, focused, vibrant ...

wir trafen vor 9 Uhr morgens im Rolex-Learning Center an einem Samstagmorgen ein und waren mit wenigen Studentinnen und Studenten fast alleine dort ... aber das Bild änderte sich schnell und binnen einer Stunde waren die Gebäude voller Studentinnen und Studenten, die es sogar an einem frühen Samstagmorgen gerne zum Lernen aufsuchten, die Atmosphäre war fantastisch ... ruhig konzentriert, vibrierend ...

I have used this location for two other photographs....so I do find something about it very interesting and attractive.
