Winter Tracery 2

An early morning walk through the local park produced the first image on the left, the next three were produced using Snapseed and Photo fx on the iphone, the final image was the pencil sketch processed using an app called ArtistaHaiku.

Winter Tracery

Walking through the park

On a cold, clear winter evening

The bare branches are etched

Black against the blue.

Snow falls from a leaden sky

This shot was actually taken in December, I am doing a little bit of catching up.

Snow flakes fall from a leaden sky

The dark grey clouds heavy with snow

The flakes fall in silent beauty

Drifting past the window.

Beautiful Skies from above

A recent flight to Dublin during stormy weather.

The clouds cleared as we passed through a cold front

resulting in these beautiful cloud formations

backlit by the setting sun.

A brief flash of Autumn

This beech tree in the local park has turned golden at last in this lingering autumn,

but the strong winds will soon have the branches bare.

Autumn Arrives

The autumn colours seem late this year in our local park

but last Saturday's sunshine seemed to bring them out.

This stately birch glowed yellow in the sunlight,

an ideal subject for the new warm tone James M lens.

A fan of golden leaves

Spread against the cloud dappled autumn sky.

Rainy Days and Mondays

A rainy Monday in Dublin.

All day the rain fell

And the waters rose

The rivers flooding out

To where sea and sky meet

And the cycle begins again.
