Soaking Up the Sun
Let’s flashback to another warm and lazy day in September of 2013. The dragonflies were circling the pond, landing in their favorite spots, then circling the pond again, for all the world like teenagers cruising downtown in their cars.
More Frigid Drips
Winter weather can sure be beautiful! In Oklahoma, usually when the sun comes out, the photographer must hurry to get the shots before the beauty melts away.
These were fun to shoot, making me think of a xylophone or wind chimes with these spaced icicles and intermittent drips.
Can you imagine these drips to the sound of a xylophone?
Mysterious Brew
Now for a flashback to a warmer time. I know we are not the coldest part of the country here in OK, but it was -4 degrees F this morning!
I loved the texture and the color in this shot of the pond, taken last September, when the temperature was well above freezing.
A Frozen Moment
It is funny, I want to say this is a moment frozen in time, but really the ice was melting. I was trying to take a photo of one of the drips just as it accumulated enough mass to break away from the cohesion water displays.
Rocket into the New Year!
Rocket is excited!
“Alrighty then, let’s go!”
