Snow Drop

Dang groundhog….early Spring my foot!! Here it is, March 23rd, and we have snow on the ground yet again! The snow definitely did “drop” today….and it dropped on my cute little “Snow Drop” flowers that finally came to life in the garden last week. The image above is a scene from my back yard that shows the various stages of tree growth. I have some beautiful evergreens that are full and lush, and then some that have totally lost all of their needles. Some of my giant Oak trees are still hanging onto their leaves from last year, adding some color to the landscape. All of them were blanketed with a wet heavy snow today so I had to take a few minutes and go out with my camera. The image above was taken with the Lensbaby Composer and soft focus optic then processed with an oil painting effect. The image below is one of my Snow Drop flowers, still wet from the snow and rain. It was taken with my 100mm macro lens and processed with a watercolor effect. Looks like more snow is on the way tonight…..good grief! 🙁
Last weekend was such a tease with the sunny warm weather, then all this cold, brrr! I love the top photo, all the different trees covered in snow, very pretty. And the bottom shot doesn’t even look like it was shot with available light, looks like it was shot in studio! Nice work!
Trust me, Ashley, it was available light on the snow drop. I was outside kneeling in the snow on a garbage bag and it was SO COLD! 🙂
