The temperature hovered at a degree or two below freezing, and the sky was spitting snow, but the trails were calling, and I wanted to see what kind of images I could capture on a gloomy, grey afternoon. Here’s what I came up with:
Nothing really great. No hawk. No owl. No sunshine! But my trail walk wasn’t a total washout today. I got some exercise, tested my new camera settings, and came home with a bunch of okay pictures plus one that I had some fun with. Can you guess which one that was? Here it is again:
On my way back to the parking lot, I cut through the picnic shelter and spotted this leaf on the cement floor. Picking it up, I sat down on a bench and played with the camera settings. Call me crazy, but I was satisfied with the results.

Wonderful shots. I love the leaf shot!

So glad you liked the leaf. Anyone seeing me sitting in the picnic shelter taking pictures of a dead leaf on such a cold day would have thought I was more than a little wacky, but I liked the result.

I battle the fear of people thinking I’m wacky. Your photo is a reminder that it is totally worth people thinking what they want to think for the sake of our art!

Thanks, Camille. It has been pretty cold this week. Friday and Saturday will probably be our coldest so far this year. Still, I feel pretty good about getting out on the trail for short walks at least. I have more to post, but haven’t had time to do it yesterday or today.
