The Dead Reach Out

Broke my lens that day, but before I did, I looked for a different take on the gross green film on the water. The dead tree sorta reaching out to the live ones did the trick for me.

A Path

This year I climbed a rather steep hill at a forest preserve I had never visited to find this solitary tree on top. It was an gloomy day. For the next hour or so, I sought to squeeze how I felt into several shots. This is one of them.

Sit 'n wonder

The drizzle had started when I arrived so I started packing up. Then, I thought, oh what the heck, I'm here and probably won't be back for another year. I took it. Haven't been back in over a year.

I was captivated by the rush of the water in the very small stream and surprised how much time and nature had changed the shoreline.

Missing winter in Chicago? Not me!

Good evening moon

My son was driving me back from McDonald's with my diet Coke in hand when he said "Dicha see the moon?" It was low and not overly bright (it was around 7pm).
The other day we had a lunar ecplise (missed it due to snow and clouds!) and I wondered if last night's moon was somehow related to the eclpise earlier in the week. I grabbed my 55-250mm, tripod, scarf and walked across the street for a few shots. Good shots of the moon have eluded me. I had managed to get a couple of shots last year at Meijer's parking lot but they werent close enough.
Earlier this week I needed a moon shot for a co-workers' going away photo and had to use a online pic instead of my own. Won't need to do that anymore after last night :)
