shooting bottles
My neighbor had some work done last year that involved digging up the backyard.
The guys found all the bottles buried in the fill.
They sat them along the back of her garage when they have been since.
After taking a shot of them this morning, I put the photo through three filters,
the soft glow and watercolor in PSE 9, and the canvas filter in Gimp. I think this was number 3.

january thaw
Southern Maine had rain and fog yesterday and last night.
I took this shot early this morning.
Puddles had formed in the hayfield,
and the crows were taking advantage of them to bathe.
I didn’t get a clear shot of that, but this is what the scene looked like.
48º at 4:30 in the afternoon!
in from the woods
-4º last night.
Fresh snow on the ground from yesterday’s storm.
I went outoudoors when the temperature got up to 2º
A squirrel had already been to the feeder.
wild turkeys in winter
Here is a shot I took eariler in month.
It was probably the last time I saw the turkeys out in the open.
Since then, we have gotten quite a bit of snow.
Something that I noticed on this day,
was well the turkeys are camoflauged in the winter.
Their winter colors match the ground cover perfectly
I didn’t see them at all, umtil they stepped in the snow.
After a few minutes, the disappeared back into the underbrush.
