Cold, cold, ice... but so visually very nice. Powerful forces have created myriad patterns, and crazed abstractions right out our back door! The ice along the lake mirrors the clouds, and reflects the colors of the sky at sunset. I am intrigued and amazed by the rich possibilities here at any time of day.
Recently I was out in the middle of the cove with the fishermen, and found large swaths of delicate cracks like giant needlework woven across the frozen water. Here were decorative designs created by some mysterious hand of nature. Here is yet another opportunity for fine art photography.
Corny perhaps, but I am always awe struck, and feel moved in my heart when I experience a magnificent sunrise or sunset. I feel so fortunate now that we open out to the west, across Indian Lake. On Tuesday evening the combination of the contrails of airplanes, and a dusty gray sunset combined to create this spectacular visual scene. I wax philosophical when such beauty presents itself to me. I cannot help but think, "I have been alloted another special life moment. Thank you." And I am reminded once again, this is why I am a fine art photographer.

The lake was in quiet a lather yesterday, with wild water and wind pushing against me like a hand. Lines of white foam undulated on the waves as they splashed on the shore. The last of the leaves clutched at branches and our lawn was swept clean. The setting sun finally quieted the storm and another day passed away.
This is an amazing video, no idea how it was done...
This is truly amazing... really looks like black magic to me... is this where it is going... my god!!!!
