All Washed Up

A beach walk last March revealed many large pieces of trees and roots, and smaller pieces of drift wood that had washed ashore during the winter storms. I found this one to be quite dramatic with the frothy Pacific Ocean behind it, and I couldn't pass up capturing the contrasts between all the elements.

I must remember to post a few more of these.

Light Study of Narcissus

Pin It

I bought some paperwhite (narcissus) bulbs before Christmas, set them in a vase with the bases of the bulbs just touching water, and waited.

I was rewarded with many stems of fragrant, very white blooms. And many opportunities to take photos. Which I did, almost every day after the bulbs had bloomed, in all kinds of light. Some turned out well, others not so much. Here are four photos that I particularly like.

I have gone back to work after enjoying eighteen wonderful days off during the holidays. With our short winter days, I don't get out to take photos after I come home from work, so I don't post as much.

I really enjoyed the leisure time I had over the break, went out "shooting" almost daily, and joined a few memes (Shadow Shot Sunday Too, Sunlit Sunday, Monday Mellow Yellows, to name a few) and met some new photo bloggers, all of which I found very exciting.

Sadly, at least until the days get considerably longer, my posts will be fewer and farther between and I won't be visiting my newly-found blogger acquaintances as much.

Today I am linking this post to Monday Mellow Yellows and hope to get around to all the photographers who post there this week.
