Not much to say here. In this photo the lines and structure of these tree limbs/branches with a fine snow along the top sides caught my eye. The tree bark also gave interesting detail and snow upon the ground acted to reflect light back up upon them.
Still busy this week at work and my mind is only running at about fifty percent during the down times.
When work drains both mental and physical resources, I think running at fifty percent during down time is rather impressive. Judging by the photo here, I would say that your fifty percent is pretty darned productive.
Very kind of you, Anita. I was feeling pretty low yesterday after a of nothing by problems but today was much better. I guess moods are like the weather…if you don’t like it, wait a while and it will change.
A good observation of the shading and molding of the snow and reflected light. Very nice image.
Hi Don, thanks.
I know the feeling all to well and sometimes makes it very difficult to notice such details.
Mark…absolutely. It can even make you question what you’re seeing and your judgement.
I like the way you’ve caught the detail in the branches.
(And for some reason, when I type in your comment box I get extremely light text against a white box – I have to highlight to read what I’ve written. Not sure if this my browser (Firefox 3.6.13 for Mac) or something on your blog.)
Sorry, about the comment form text color. I inadvertently made a change to font colors that I didn’t mean to. Thanks for saying something…they should be okay now.
I can relate also. I’m usually running at 50% when I return from a trip. Seems the first day back is lethargic. Yet, the photographers eye is always there. It’s picking up the camera that becomes the task. Have an awesome day, Earl.
Monte, if I was keeping your schedule I’m not sure I could even obtain 50% after a trip. You’re right about the photographers eye…with or without camera. Have a good weekend!
I would have to agree with Anita. Impressive that you are able to maintain or utilize 50%. I’ve been reading about all of the work that you’ve been doing and it sounds like you’ve been running at about 150%, so 50 is good. Relax. Recharge. Enjoy.
Paul, thanks. It’s been a hard week and after 12 straight days of work Bonnie and I are looking forward to having a real weekend. Somewhere I got the crazy idea in my head that this job was part time. ;-)
Some of those crazy ideas really are crazy and some are great inspirations!
LOL…well I’m going to turn this job back into an inspiration. I’ve done the 60hrs week-after-week job thing and don’t plan to do it again. I create my life and I choose part-time! ;-)
Earl,
Beautiful shot. I too like the fine snow on the branches, the structure and details of it’s branches. Well done.
Alan
