I had my camera with me all day.

I visited fashion photographer Dan Lippitts studio for a while – nothing struck me. I did photograph some sea shells at home thinking a summer theme would be fun in the middle of winter.  Nothing good.

I ended up in my back yard again.  I do see a theme developing with the winter flowers.

I shot this image as the sun was going down. I used off camera flash along the side with a wide angle lens.  I created a lot of images.  Two are posted on flickr.

I think the flowers almost look like trees at this angle, what do you think?

coneflower winter

We had our first major snow fall of the year.

I thought I would catch Ava playing in the white stuff. But, by the time I was ready to go out, she was coming back in.  Of course, I waited too long to catch the fresh dramatic snow.  So, I knew I would have to do a little digging.

Shirley suggested the cone flowers in our side yard.  Not a bad suggestion. What do you think?
