White Crocus

Not really a "white crocus" but you get the idea. It was a lovely dusting of snow the other day. We only see snow once every other year and it is a treat. (Not to those who endure it for months every year, I know.)

Mary's Peak

It was an awesome morning looking at Mary's Peak across the valley from Fitton Green. Not so green today, just snow and a lot of sky. Mary's peak is the larger snow covered mountain across the valley.

No Entry!

Along a lonely highway is this old seemingly abandoned building. I think it may have had something to do with the railroad nearby or some sort of communications station. But that was years ago. Now it is just an old brick building, wasting away.

Towering Crocus

I warned you that I wanted a shot of another crocus. This little guy just stands out from the others and the sky. If someone would have suggested that a fisheye would make a good close-up/macro lens I would have laughed in their face. No longer!

Tracks

I'm not sure if this is a shot of the sky, the tracks or William. (I should have better focus on the subject.) That said, I like this HDR image with all its contrast and color for its impact.

Crocus are up

I noticed these little guys up and reaching for the spring. I'll grab more shots when the darker purple rise up. As a side note, this is another shot from my fisheye lens at 10mm. (I love this lens!) The camera was flat on the ground and about 2 inches from the flowers. I did not expect to get this sort of close-up capability from this lens. Cool perspective too!

Another Barn

I shot this barn recently, loved the dark background sky and the contrasting barns. Trouble is, not I have a couple edits and I am not sure which I like better. Opinions?
