Anytime I see something interesting, I try to take a photo of it.... well here is my attempt at taking a picture of icicles hanging from my roof top.... out my bedroom window. it just looked so pretty glistening in the morning sunlight.

Here are some pictures I took today at the Newport News Park. I really like the pictures with the frozen lake....

Just thought it was pretty

Snowflake

I wasn't even trying, but if you look closely at this picture, you can see individual snowflakes hanging off the branch. I was just inside my house seeing how well I could take pictures through the glass, since it was just to cold to want to go out at that moment... I didn't even notice them until I had loaded the pictures on the computer to view them. If I had known they were there, I would have gone out to try and get better close up pictures of them... I thought they looked so awesome... o'well... perhaps next time... LOL

First snow of the season

Last week we had our first dusting of snow for the winter season so far. Hopefully with more to come, as long as I don't have to get out in it to much.

I think sometimes one of my favorite things to do is to take a picture and see what creative way I can alter and make it looks nice and interesting.
sometimes it can be as simple as taking it and turning it in to a black and white photo, or a sepia or an infrared. Sometimes I like to take more time and perhaps erase a background or add a touch of color or sun rays....
Most of them, most of the time are just the way I took them.
These are some that I played with, just to see what the outcome would be.

I like how I can take one photo and make it look beautiful in several different ways. At least to me, I think changing it can look just as nice as the original.

The next photo has the original sunlight that was peering through, all I did was just make it a black and white... I really love black and white photos.

This one that I have posted before just turned out to be a really cool photo editing technique that I was playing around with that turned out quite interesting and almost natural.

I am hoping this next year I can really flourish on my creativity for my love of nature.
