A couple of days ago I went up to Forest Falls, a small community in our nearby mountains. I had thought to go to the recreation area there, but it was closed...not sure if it's because of Covid or snow. I found a place to park beside the road and hiked out a bit--there weren't any trails there, and it was rather hard slogging, especially since I was only wearing walking shoes, not boots (I left my snow boots in Edmonton!) I took a few snow shots along the way. This was one of them. At least I had my own snow experience, since everyone else seems to be having snow! 2/8/21 www.sparhawkphotography.com
When I was out shooting the moon the other day, as I got back home, the moon had risen to the point it was showing through the trees. By then the snowy mountains were golden from the sunset. There's something about a full moon that gets me every time I see one! 1/30/21 www.sprhawkphotography.com
This is a painterly version of the small island that is out in Seccombe Lake in San Bernardino, CA. I was there birding, but they were few and far between. As the park has been neglected and overrun, I wanted to focus on the nice reflections. Filtering it did improve the look of the park--I wish it were that easy to renovate the real thing! 1/21/21 www.sparhawkphotography.com
