I went there in late March to see if the ice looked like this, again, but it didn't. I made this photo a year ago. Every year it's different.
I suppose this is a good thing. Imagine every year being exactly the same, the melting snow and ice in spring producing identical results to last year's and those of the year before: it would be so boring! We'd know exactly what to do. Last spring I wasn't expecting this, and I didn't know what to do, so I tried this and that, including lying on my side and wedging myself as tightly as possible into a mini ice cave. It was only ten or fifteen inches high, with long, thin icicles hanging down.
This year, no ice cave, and no icicles. Instead, a strip of slushy water along the shore, and some inaccessible, slushy ice farther out. This time, I knew what to do. I drove home and dug this image out of my file.
Balance. Some days are for shooting; others are for dreaming up the next shoot. Some days are for composing; others are for peering into my compost bucket and watching the contents decompose. Yesterday the power blew out; today I have a renewed appreciation for power. In fact, I think I will stay home all day and enjoy the electricity.

European common frog (Rana temporaria) - Tyrolean Alps, Austria
A common frog in habitat in the Austrian Alps. A beautiful area to live but full of its own kind of challenges, yet R. temporaria is up to them. It survives and flourishes in the cold environment high up in the mountains where other species could not eke out a living. They seem to be rather successful as I saw quite a large number of them during my hike through the Alps, they were seen moving about in the dewy grass and anything more than a cursory inspection of any mountain stream seemed to reveal atleast one of these frogs.
This tree caught my attention during my walk in N.P. Loonse en Drunense Duinen, and on the way back I was able to shoot it against the sun, it turned out to be the star of the day:)
Thanks for having a look! All faves and comments are highly appreciated!
Un trabajo largo...244 disparos con la sony a7R y el componon macro-iris 50mm a 3.5 con pasos de 0.050mm, una exposición de 2 segundos e iso 100.
Bit of an experiment in trying to get a sense of scale of the pink-feet as they flew in from the Wash. An awe-inspiring sight.
Press L - it does add to it.
Mornington Peninsula, Victoria
Took this shot with wideangle.. you can clearly see how narrow the Peninsula is, with Port Phillip Bay on one side and the ocean back beaches on the other...
4 minute long exposure, using the Hoya 6 stop ND and the Lee Big Stopper 10 stop ND a total of 16 stops. The wind was blowing pretty hard and the water was almost choppy.

Thank you for visiting, and for your kind comments and favorites. They are greatly appreciated!
Ruins of an old stone house in the middle of nowhere. Pelican Pointe, Saskatchewan, Canada.
2023-24: Expert merit award out of 5338 entries in Photocrowd 'Made of Stone' competition in December 2023. Judge commended out of 1793 entries in Photocrowd 'Buildings with no Roof' in April 2024.
Taken in the South Downs last weekend, this image was taken over a long exposure with a B&W ten stop filter. Essential then when taking one of these shots you cover the viewfinder to avoid any excess light getting into the camera and causing colour cast. Great learning experience for me as I began my foray into long exposure work.
