I was taking photos down at the golf course, and then I turned round and saw this - with the sun - and decided to see what would happen...
The title was a problem - to be specific, the spelling of it - so I looked it up!
"In modern English, 'wintry' is the preferred spelling of the adjective meaning of, like, or relating to winter. 'Wintery' has a long history in English, but it has never been the preferred form, and it has no meanings of its own. In 21st-century books, it appears once for approximately every 20 instances of 'wintry'. It is a little more common on the web and in newswriting, though still much rarer than 'wintry'.
There is no evidence that 'wintery' is becoming more common, but the spelling does accurately reflect how many English speakers pronounce the word—that is, with three syllables instead of two—so it may someday gain ground. For now, 'wintry' prevails."

This tree is huge. One of the few left in Minneapolis that still has leaves, amazingly.
iPad Wallpaper #3? Can't quite tell until I try it out firsthand.
This is the one year anniversary of my original tree cozy shot. Since the original was so successful (12,000+ views!) I figured I would milk the sculpture for all it's worth ;) The yarn seems to be holding up very well given the elements in Cleveland.
See the original for a description of this commissioned art work.
Took the 200mm out and the f2.8 to play with the dogwood tree not far there in the neighborhood ... with the setting sunlight.
I went backpacking with a friend over Memorial Day in the Hetch Hetchy area which is close to Yosemite. Rather than sitting in traffic Monday, I stayed an extra night and explored Yosemite for the first time. It's quite a place. I can see what it's so popular w/ photographers -- there's a grand view almost anywhere you look.
It was overcast most of the time I was there, so I focused on trees. Large
This tree has seen many cold winters...

Sometimes I take the most dull and boring images. That's when I ask myself, "OK, what can I do with this? Can I elevate it? Can I learn something from it? It's a throwaway, so I might as well explore." Then, I open my software and play. Sometimes I delete the image after I've sliced and diced it, but other times I feel happy with the result, like now, with these trees. They are no longer mundane. I've brought something out from them, or put something in.
