This scene is fairly monochrome except for the pale brown of the cabin. And I was snow bound. 18" of wet snow fell during the night before this photo was taken. It was a beautiful place to be marooned.

What can I say? They saw my camera and posed. I had to take the photo! Of course, if I had had a little more time I could have done this one right. But this will have to do. At least the exposure is good.

I know the title is lurid. But so are the flowers - it's all about attraction.

I was hot tubbing at Bill Zubke's in a SD blizzard. What possessed me to run from the steaming hot tub and jump in the snow? Stupidity. I hope this photo isn't too disturbing for younger viewers. I know it disturbs me.
HDR is a hot thing in photography right now. HDR stands for "high dynamic range" and the technique uses layering in Photoshop to get a photo that sometimes looks a little unreal. This scene required two layers and was taken at sunrise in Mexico a few years ago.
This is a spot I have photographed often. I blame Photoshop for the somewhat surreal look this photo has.
A photo of students looking at a painting of a photo. Did you follow that? This was taken on a AP European History field trip to the Minneapolis Institute of Art a few years ago. The painting is by Chuck Close.
I'll admit that using "big seeds" in a blog title is decidedly un-glamorous. But the use of "window wonderland" must compensate a little bit. :-) So my trivia question today is: "What is the biggest seed?" Having asked that, I know that a pine cone is really a bunch of seeds.
My own answer to the question is avocado. Can anyone think of something that has a bigger seed?
This was the last tree I photographed when I went outside yesterday morning to get some photos of frost on trees. What captivated me was the fact that this tree was more white than green because the tree's needles were almost completely covered with the frost.
I call the photo "A Mysterious Place" because it was somewhat surreal when I stood under the canopy of the tree to get the effect of the soft light illuminating the thin, frost-covered needles.
