Winter From My Windows

It’s snowing out today and with the forecast of 5 to 8 inches of accumulating snow the prediction looks to be holding true.   With days like this where travel isn’t a great idea there are still opportunities to makes nice images.  So with that in mind I decided I would shoot the weather by simply opening a random window in the house to “see” what images I’d find in front of me.

I quickly found out that making cool images wasn’t all that hard of a task.  Using what equipment I had in my arsenal here’s what I’ve come up with.  Everything from my from 16mm to 800mm was put into play and it certainly made for some a fun look at scenes that are all too regular for me.    Take a look…

A common name for our native Sycamore tree is Buttonwood tree, referring to the fruits like the one show covered in snoww, which grow in one-inch balls hanging from stringy three to six inch stalks. The seed balls hang on the Sycamore all winter, then fall apart in early spring to disperse their many small seeds, leaving a hard, button-like core where the seeds were attached. Tufts of hairs on each seed act as parachutes, scattering seeds widely. The seeds are also eaten by birds and carried by water. (Michael J. Treola/Michael J. Treola Photography)
