white birches white sky

Sunday was a muted day, wet and warm but also chilly, the kind of day where you bundle up only to loosen your scarf after ten minutes...and then are forced to re-wrap ten minutes after that.

Wanted to shoot the white birches against the white snow and the white sky, but I couldn't find what I was seeing through the camera. Maybe what I was seeing was dependent on the eye's ability to see both near and far...or, that part of what I was seeing was about my movement through the trees and a still image couldn't capture it.

Anyways, I came upon this flower arrangement while trying to get a better angle on the trees below.

I like that flower photo alot. It is intersting how the flowers had enough life force to melt the snow around it and reach for the warmth of the open sky.

Perty. Interesting thought about the limit of the camera's eye. I have that problem often, but maybe that's part of the skill of developing as a photographer...
