Valentine's Day

Walk around the pond and environs with Karyn yielded these pictures this afternoon.



That above is simply the pond at dusk. This picture was taken a few minutes after the next picture - the light didn't change that much in those few minutes. I like to fool the camera when the flash is off. It's kind of a trick I learned from my analog canon camera, wherein you let the light meter in the camera adjust to a certain area and then move the camera to another target so that the picture comes out over or under exposed.




This was K's suggestion of a tree to look at. It was actually partially wrapped around another plainer tree. I like how you can kind of see the pond in the washed out background. Karyn was picking at the bark. It would be a little better if the majority of the bark was in focus instead of that little bit.




These are goose prints maybe?
It was valentine's day and we took a very long and pleasant walk around the muddy river.
