We had another day of frosty trees, along with a new dusting of snow. I went back to the cottonwoods to capture some vertical compositions, which I think are quite dramatic. It wasn’t nearly as cold today, so I could take more time and enjoy the wintry scene. I’ll post a batch of them when [...]

It was another nice spring day here, with a little bit of rain in the afternoon. I worked on gardens again, and stopped by to see the cottonwoods in different light. Here are some versions with and without filters.
