Frozen Spike

Back when we had cold weather the other week, I found ice that had wrapped around a stick in the stream beneath a beaver dam and had sheared into various frozen spikes. I had to shoot this blind and try a number of different angles in order to get what I was after. I was standing on a rock in the middle of the stream bending down to the waters edge to get my camera low enough for the angle I was after. Luckily I avoided a header into the water. Thanks for stopping by.

Ok, ok. Another abstract. I hope I am not boring you with these. But they can be such fun to do. This image has a very long backstory, bu the short version is: don't shoot in Reston Town Center without written permission from management, it is all private property (bet you did not know that). You too might be banned for a year of taking pictures and have to appeal management in order to get the ban lifted. Ugh. I will give what this is a shot of tomorrow.

As for yesterday's abstract image, this is the end post of a front porch railing at the house in Green Spring Garden Park in Alexandria, VA. The post had a large globe (knob) on top with lots of coats of peeling paint. Fun with the ol' macro lens.
