After the recent rainstorm, I took this photo of one of the plants in my backyard. I think that the flat white sky against the vibrant sharp-edged plant made for an interesting image. Enjoy!

Winter Sunset
Cloud Ocean
Living at 3300 feet (1100 Meter) elevation in Mariposa allows us to enjoy this Cloud Ocean on cold winter mornings, at least once in a while. Enjoy!
Do They Know
Water Fantasy
I was photographing splashing water at a small waterfall in Yosemite Valley. Many times I opted for longer exposure times to smooth out the water. This time I tried something different. First, I picked a very fast shutter speed to freeze the water. Then I took a second shot out of focus. The sun reflected in the water and the second image was full of interesting reflective bubbles. In post I overlaid the second, out of focus image over the first image, aligned the images and created a mask to reveal the bubbles to my hearts content. Enjoy!
Into the wild
Tauwetter
In Anke’s picture yesterday, the Mittellandkanal was still frozen and shipping traffic was at a standstill. Within the last two days, a heavy thaw has set in and the ice cover has broken. The ice floes float like shattered glass on the canal.

Stillstand
A rare sight! The Mittelland Canal is currently frozen over. The bargemen have to take a forced break because the icebreakers are needed on the Weser.
