The mixture of gentle rain and then freezing temperatures has enclosed shrubs, reeds, grasses, branches and buds in thick clear ice, resulting in breath-taking intricate displays of Mother Nature's beauty. They remind one of paper weights with dried pressed flowers inside, though these are a million times more beautiful and precious, for they have been formed purely by nature. I am in awe!
Below there is a little treat for all of you: a short video clip of Kiki, being her sweet enthusiastic self in the snow this morning. Hope some of her joy rubs off on you!
Love to you all,
country girl

Dawn, these are glorious! Sorry to get a little off-topic, but am I right in assuming these were taken with your new Olympus? I've been eyeballing it for a couple of weeks now as a potential birthday gift, and was just wondering if you'd recommend it. Is it easy to use...? I manage to make things stop working just by looking at them, so being relatively foolproof would be dandy. Thanks for any advice.
ReplyDeleteDear Anna,
ReplyDeleteYes, these were taken with my darling Olympus. I am still figuring out the details, but for the most part it was very easy to learn! It is definitely heavier than my old point and shoot, and it takes some getting used to. But I love it.
