Spring Has Sprung.

Ahhh yes. Spring is in the air at last. With allergies gallore and all the road dust clinging to everything before the spring rain will finally breaks its bond. It's a glorious time of year. Our seven months of evil Winter is over and the timmid Prairie People are starting to shake off the effects of hibernation. Life on the prairies is glorious. Of course this would all be wonderful if we didn't have go through the hell of Winter in the first place! I hate that season and global warming can't happen fast enough. (Sorry for the politically incorrectness of my rant. It needs to be said!)
Anyways...I was actually able to get out with my camera and go for a quick stroll to feel the sunshine wrap it's blanket of warmth all over me. It was a great day to shoot and I enjoyed it. I am hoping for a long and wonderful summer filled with great photo ops.
Woo Hoo

Black and White

Just fiddling with some B&W images to see what I can come up with. The first image I'm pretty happy with. The second was a mistake. I was working the image and proceeded to get frustrated with it and started going crazy with the curves adjustment. Then I went,"Whoa....kinda cool." I made it B&W added some film grain and presto. The third image is just what it is, tree roots. I liked the flow of it. I'll probably look at it again next week and go, "Eeeew." Then delete it. LOL.
