Conspicuous and Inconspicuous
It wasn't hard to see the results of yesterday's storm this morning. Even the picnic table is buried. I didn't do anything with the color in this because it captures the cold gray feel of the morning and the sun getting ready to come out. I think it is it's own kind of beautiful.
Can you see the bird nest in the tree on the left? A friend told me it had to be a hummingbird nest because it is so small and covered over. I have tried to get a good picture of it before but just don't have the zoom power or a 30 ft. tall ladder. It shows up better in this picture because of all the snow stacked on top of it.
Here is a cropped version, more snow than nest.

Another storm, haven't you people had enough? I would complain to the weather bureau. irds/ Nest are a trial in tall trees for sure.
ReplyDeleteWinter storms always provide for those magical images (but how many images can you take?) LOL Truly a winter wonderland. I have never seen a hummingbird's nest...you will have to keep an eye on it to share your springtime babies! :) You just need to buy a longer lens LOL
ReplyDeleteBeautiful winter scene!!
ReplyDeleteI do like the cold, gray feel to the picture. It looks peaceful (and cold). I am about ready for the snow to stop!
ReplyDeleteI like this picture a lot, and I don't think you need to do anything to the color - but I might bring up the exposure a bit to get the snow more white. The camera tends to underexpose snow and turn it grey.
ReplyDeleteI really like your photo. It certainly conveys the quiet of winter (my favorite part of a snowstorm). A hummingbird's nest should provide for great photo ops come warmer weather!
