A frozen bud from a limb that fell during the crazy Lansing, MI ice storm right before Christmas. This was the only sunny day, after more snow had fallen. I am holding it in my glove. I wanted to keep this ball of ice so badly! Too bad some things are ephemeral.

Same place, but different time of day.

A forgotten little gem from my CameraBag trial.

Family History - The Church at Old Smith Farm

Gabi and I took another road trip to VA to join my family for the annual reunion. My mom and dad took us by the Smith farm. Right before turning on the road, I spied this church. My family humored me long enough to park with me there o the way back, snap two shots and jump back in the car. One of these days I will take someone who wants to explore with me :) - too scary alone!

For the next 14 days I will be experimenting with SilverEfex Pro. This is my first shot at it.

"Engagement Shots"

Great friends of ours were recently engaged and had a get-together to celebrate. I brought my flash :) and told them they are the last people to get such photos for free!
