arctangent > Bumper crop. The high bush cranberries produced a prodigous crop of berries this year. I like the way the circles of confusion in the background mimic the shape of the berries and almost seem to hang in the air like bunches of light.
arctangent > Revelations. Shadows reveal the contours of the snow and details of the shape of the tree branch, neither of which would be seen clearly in the flat light of an overcast day.
arctangent > I was on my way back to the car, nearly there, when I approached this foot bridge that spans the remnant canal at Providence Park. The high angle of the sun at approx. noon produced on the vertical posts these steeply pitched zebra-like shadows of the horizontal members of the railing. The interesting geometry of the railing itself, and its interaction with the light, and the harmony of the color of the rusted railing and the autumn foliage beyond, all made me pause in my purposeful walk, and try to capture the charm of the scene.
arctangent > Twin masts... the same mast and halyard reflected twice as a motorboat wake rolls under the sailboat at the dock. Crooked Lake, Michigan
arctangent > December 25, 2008. Recent temperature fluctuations had allowed snow on the roof to melt, run off, and drip onto the dome of this bird feeder, where it refroze into a "curtain" of icicles.
arctangent > My dear old friend had a dilemma. He hates to have his picture taken, but he also loves to smile. The result is the forbearing expression you see here.
arctangent > Huddled against the storm. I revisited this tree when the weather was better and read its tag. Yes, it's a crab apple. Toledo Botanical Garden, Early December snow storm.
arctangent > Not the moon, and not trees. Winter sky #4. A midday sun silhouetting dried stems of tall prairie wildflowers. Some stems of prairie grass can be seen behind the flower stems. Secor Park, Toledo, Ohio, December 18, 2008
arctangent > Late blooming beauties. One of the few plants still in bloom on the Hosta Hillside at Hidden Lake Gardens happened to have these large, yet delicate, upturned blooms. I'm not a hosta expert. These don't really look, to me, like hosta blooms. And they weren't obviously surrounded by hosta foliage. Can someone enlighten me on what they might be? SE Michigan Late September, 2008 Note added: Thanks for the comments, and the identification of this as 'Autumn Crocus', or colchicum. Makes sense, as it looks like crocus.
