Walking around a messy corner, we saw a cut down young pine tree. The fresh cut was encrusted by a countless number of small bubbles of the tree sup. The sun was playing a peekaboo with the clouds, but when it was shining, those tiny sup bubbles were glistering in all rainbow colors.

Sunny Sunday morning, but my camera was malfunctioning from the water exposure a night before. It was stack at the last setting, and didn't allow to change anything, but ISO value. It required some begging and calling it some nasty names, for the camera allowing me to take a picture or two.

See here how this misfortune happened.

I would love to use some different aperture setting here making the lake, granite outcrop, and the trees in the background more recognizable.

But spring is coming, good picture or not so good picture.
