Light

Jennifer over a Mari-Hal-O-Jen had an excellent post about light and how dramatic a change can be made just by changing the direction of your shot.
 
These 2 shots are of Key West, Fl, less than an hour apart. The first one was shot from the south looking north, the second from the north looking south.
These were taken as we overflew Key West on a medevac to and from the Dry Tortugas.

To the north:


To the south.

In particular, note how different the water looks, due to the changed refraction, all from shooting into sun as opposed to away from it.

April showers continues....

These 2 pics are    from a recent medevac up to Miami.

April's Shower...

As per Jennifer's suggestion at S/V Mari Hal-O-Jen, I'm posting pics.
Not sure if I will have a "theme." I guess I will just see what develops as I try to post one a day.

Two recent pics (one for April 1 and the other for today):

Recent walk at the beach encountered a small flock of Ibis:

Ok, a third pic for tomorrow, as I am working and don't think I will get to post:

Backyard visitors

Not the greatest pics, taken through a window facing the backyard. It is in the negative 30s, so while excited to see mama moose and her calf, it wasn't enough to want to go out in that cold.

Spotted the babe first:

  
Then mama:


Closer look at the calf:


And at mama:


Thank you Phil & Karlene for the new lens. Excellent Christmas present!
