Dilettante Photography: Retrospective

SnowShadows and another of my cell phone experiments [ bit.ly/SunTraces ] depend on very special climatic conditions. Strong spring sun, cold ground temperatures and air temperatures at freezing or just below combine to produce fleeting opportunities for photography. I am reminded here of an observation from one of my painter acquaintances, that all shadows on earth are actually shades of blue. #FamilyFavorites

I have been posting some of my amateur efforts in my "Family favorites Collection." This was a "surprise" shot taken with my android phone just because it was handy. Modifications were made with Picasa and Water Marquee. Originally shared by Jeff Diver Yours to share!
