cold

As I stood by the window sipping my morning coffee and searching for some inspiration to pick up the camera, I couldn’t help but notice my neighbor’s weeping willow tree and the way the sun was bouncing off the branches.  I do so love that tree and don’t mind at all that many of the branches fall over our side of the fence.  In the spring & summer it makes for a very pretty backdrop.  Back to the sun & the bare branches….. It looked almost as though the branches were covered in ice the way the sun danced on them.  I finished my coffee and headed out to the backyard to get a closer look.  While it was downright cold, the branches were not even frosty.  But the morning sun was quite beautiful.  And inspirational.

I actually meant for this to be more of a sunburst but it was just too cold for me to stand out there very long and I didn’t get my settings right on the first try.  Still love it.

As I was walking back to the house, I found ice in my bird bath.  Thought this would make a great texture.  Here’s another….

Obviously, I didn’t spend much time outside in the cold.  Itching for warmer weather.  What inspired you today?

In case you haven’t heard, Google Friend Connect will no longer support any blogs that are not on the Blogger platform.  My GFC widget stopped working long ago.  Anyhow, if you follow me via Blogger or Google Friend Connect you may want to consider subscribing to my RSS feed or email so you can continue to get the latest posts.  Also, head over to my Facebook page & “like” me if you haven’t already done so.  Be sure to click “like” when you see a new post linked up or a comment I may have left.  And certainly don’t be afraid to leave comments yourself.  If you fail to do this, you eventually won’t see the status updates.  Let’s get it hoppin’ over there!

Hope you’ll meet us back here tomorrow for iPhoneography!
