Yesterday, March 30, 2015, was a Big and Beautiful Sky Day! The large farmhouse and barn located on State Route 43, near Hartville, Ohio seem miniature in comparison.

ICM at Pippy Park Ski Trail.

Finished work, popped down the beach (safer than a slippy pier) with my old camera and tripod and there it was an incoming tide, heavy clouds, crashing waves and spirited fast winds, got down in the waves (very wet knees but I couldn't feel the cold was so pleased with the cloud formation and the rocks) put on a few ND filters and set my long exposure speed and I got a 'Beautiful Storm' just emailed this to my hubby he wants this on canvas for our office so I thought I'd share it with my Flickr Friends, have a great Thursday everyone and stay safe x

Visited Elvion a few weeks back and just love this cottage.

Weevils are one of my favorite photography subjects. They look so cool. Photographed in Maryland.

Hi, Sometimes I get this and sometimes I do not. On this whole macro photo shoot, there was a white haze that seems to go over the top of the photo. This is completely unedited. It even happens on the better exposed photos and with lower iso. I need help to identify the cause of this.
