Winter Whites

Structural integrity.

The snow clung like magnets and the branches were thick.  It reminded me of my first Christmas in California when I was 8 years old.  My dad came home with a light blue flocked tree and I couldn't believe what I saw.  The real thing is so much better!

The last snow storm of January, I think.  The river has had more ice this year...perfect for the spring duck races.  One year a seal came down river floating on an ice berg.  That was a great sight.

Winter Snow

Inspirations from the last snow storm here on the Cousins River. There is nothing quite like being out in the middle of a big snow with a camera lens.

Turning The Corner

Probably my most favorite sunrise picture of the Cousins River. The first day of spring has come and gone and we welcome the rain, mud and green sprouts like an old friend coming for a visit.

Outgoing Tide

Again the tide is leaving the river. This morning we wake to find it covered in patches of snowy icebergs. It's mezmerizing to watch the pieces float quietly down river. Last night the Canada Geese were anchored right near the flagpole. Always a good sign to have those kids back in town! Hearing them without seeing them is one of the nicest treats of the day.

It's a good day to be in the studio. Snow falling, birds squawking at the feeder and a room full of colors are waiting for me!
