Today is the last day Lisa at The Creative Exchange will have her Monday showcase
of photo art and many people are going to miss her. Thank you, Lisa, for giving us the
opportunity to experiment and dare to break new ground individually via your web site. Still a beginner and perhaps always the amateur, I am glad I discovered it when I
did and was able to participate for awhile.
Good luck, Lisa.
*** The errors from yesterday ought to have been corrected now...
During a sun break between hail storms yesterday, I snapped these photos of the swelling, drifting
creek in my back yard which is full of debris still from the ice storm.. much of it coasted
downstream, but what remains would be a great location for an ingenious beaver to build a
dam, but I've never seen one here. The ducks and geese and occasional heron like to feed from the
landing that the branches provide to the middle of the stream.
I wanted to share the broader view
of the creek in one direction, two closer views at the "island", and then the final shot of a fallen twig being bashed by the continual little waves, careening and bouncing themselves westwardly into nearby Gravelly Lake. I simply adjusted the contrast and exposure of the top three photos.
I took the liberty of enhancing he
last shot with picnik.com; you can clearly see all colors of the rainbow, as is true everywhere in nature. However, I really think I should have filmed a short clip of the small branch's fight, splashes all around, creating an enjoyable babbling melody...
why didn't I think of that?
