Just wanted to share one more (for now) lupin and water photo.

Here comes the sun
While out trying to capture water droplets on spring foliage by taking several photos with focus on different parts of the scene to stack the image (see previous post), another challenge became the breaking sun. Below are 3 of 6 images taken seconds apart with all the same settings.
The breaking sunshine not only created severe shadows but totally changed the shade of green in the raw images.
This photography gig definitely has it’s challenges!
May 2016
The ice left our lake April 24th which is just a bit early in the range of normal.
It was unspectacular.
Some years, we are treated to delicate ice crystals dancing up on our shore line, some years winds push chunks of ice up as if there was a bulldozer on the other side of the lake. No matter how long it takes or how it looks and sounds in the process, the end result – beautiful blue – is one of my favourite views.
December 2015 icicles
Not every freeze up or ice out is interesting but some times we get spectacular scenes. This fall freeze up provided fascinating ice formations. We had several very windy days as the temperatures dropped and ice began to build up along the shore.
It was as if the bubbles themselves became solid. There were thick layers of ice on every branch, twig and leaf.
The next morning, the wind and water were silent and still.
And we were treated to a beautifully decorated Christmas tree!
Different screen resolutions of the image are available from the Free Calendar drop down menu.
Up, up and away
As I post the calendar for the upcoming months, the ice is breaking up on our lake. Within a week we should be treated to the sights and sounds of the float planes in the air again. The Cessna 206 featured in this shot taken last year, was called on quite a bit while our Otter was off line for extended periods of time. It will be nice to have our whole fleet up and running for the 2015 fishing season.
Not your typical blue sky
A late day combination of rain, snow, sun and cloud make for unusual hues of blue. The yellow of fall birch is enhanced by low sun on the moist leaves.
