- The snow, as it dies, gives birth to the fog
- Missed opportunity
I went outside at the edge of darkness, with an ND8 filter on the lens. I was set up for a 4 minute exposure to blur the clouds and the fog. I interrupted this exposure after 9 seconds, because I realized I forgot to cover the eyepiece. In reviewing the images, I realized I should have tried a short exposure. I like the striking pattern in the clouds, centered over the isthmus of land. To salvage this exposure, I had to brighten it by 5 stops in Lightroom (the maximum allowed), and then a bit more in Photoshop. The Pentax K-5 II holds up well, as usual. - Tracks in the snow
- Cluster of Monotropa uniflora
This unusual flowering plant, which goes by such names as Indian Pipe, Ghost Flower, or Corpse Plant, is white because it lacks chlorophyll. It depends on a fungus for its nutrients; the fungus, in turn, depends on other plants. Emily Dickinson called it "the preferred flower of life," and her first volume of poetry (published posthumously) had the flower on its cover. - Farm pond, dawn
