post-Earth Day Post
I think this is the longest I’ve gone without posting since I started my blog. I also think it’s the busiest I’ve been with other projects! After starting a web development company recently, things are off to a fantastic start and I’m grateful for both the work and the opportunity to help others with their online presence.
Though today I am posting a winter scene, I promise to make this my last ‘cold’ endeavor until October or November. In part…I’m finally heading back to the deserts of Utah for about 8 or so days here the first part of May. Exactly two years since having been there last, not a day has gone by that I haven’t wished to sneak away unseen, camera in-hand, sleeping bag in the back seat, more lost than found and intentionally so.
Until that colorful landscape with all of its trappings, I present the softest of winter dawns as an appreciative welcome to spring. You’ll notice a strong yellow cast over portions of the frame, achieved by stacking circular polarizer filters…quite an interesting experiment.
**Update - Compared to other recent posts, this image is dark…but that was my intent. Also, my hope of not posting anymore cold weather images might not actually stand…yesterday it was 77 degrees, today it’s 26 with driving snow. Ersh…spring in MT.
Oooh, cool eerie shot! Very mysterious. For some reason, it reminds me of old war movies. Yep, I heard about your weather situation.
But lucky for us here in Connecticut, we will be getting your 70/80 degree weather this weekend. Yay! Hopefully, we won’t get your snowy weather after that! Glad to hear things are going well with your new company! Best to you as always Cody.
Hi Diane, thank you for comment. I can totally see the ‘old war movie’ reference…though I’m glad it was just me battling the cold.
Things are starting back up…went from 77F to 26F overnight with about 8-9 inches of snow. Pushing 50F now though…come on spring! haha Best to you as well, m’friend.
I am really looking forward to your pictures of Utah. Such an amazing place! It was hard on my camera though:) Thanks for the blog visit.
Awesome - looks like a lunar landscape… I like how the scale throws me off.
@Teri - Thanks for your visit and support, Teri, much appreciated. As my latest post says, I didn’t take too many pictures but will be putting some posts together nonetheless. My camera came home pretty tired as well, lots of sand grinding around in the lens and such. Ersh… lol
@Kerri - Thanks m’friend, definitely a lunar feel here…and probably just as cold.
I think the scale gets affected by the limited visibility, yet localized brightness…a seeming visual trick. Nature rules. haha
