Soft and Quiet - Winter covers all

The last leaves of fall are covered with the slowly falling snowflakes. One after another they pile up and soon their weight will prove too much for this leaf and it too, will fall.  Till then we are suspended in time and can enjoy the beauty of nature between seasons.  November comes to an end.

Bits and Pieces

We had a rare winter storm here and received several inches of lowland snow.  The weather turned and stayed cold for several days with some significant wind. f5.6, ISO 280, 1/350s and manual white balance.

Webs echo glass and metal

Those same spiders seemed to find a way to echo the curves of both the glass balls and the metal that holds them.

Caught between the trees

One foggy morning the spiderwebs were all covered with water and looked like lace doilies caught between the trees

Rocks in the Water

During a recent summer road trip we took a side trip out of Moab towards evening.  The road followed the river for a while and as the sun went down the rocks and the water took on a beautiful glow.

Autumn Leaves

As I worked on this image to ready it for posting I am watching tthe snow fall outside the window.  Nothing is sticking on the ground or the street, but it is more than just a flurry!  Summer is long gone and fall too is just a memory!  Winter may not "be here", but it looks like it is close.

The Glory of the Hidden Sun

Once in a while it all comes together - the sun, the fog, the right angles and wonder of wonders the light of the sun is fractured into visible rays.  And to make things even more wonderful I managed to capture it in an image.  Enjoy yourself, it is peaceful, tranquil, the birds are quiet as the fog blankets the world, including sound.
