Sooooo, December is upon us! The year really sped by quickly, and in just 3 weeks, we will have the Winter Solstice again, and then we will get to see the days lengthen, as the Sun makes it's way back from the South. As I was reading online earlier today, it appears that up North in the Muskoka's they got really clobbered with about 50 inches of snow....boy, I sure would hate to be stuck in that one on Hwy. #11 N. Here in SW Ontario, we got just a small sprinkle, and some folks are pushing the panic button already. We don't get Winter here...we get about 4 months of November, then Spring happens overnight. Anyway, I digress....This little image tonight is from a few shots that I took earlier today, or I should say yesterday, as it is well past Midnight now. When I got to playing with it a bit later tonight, I thought I would make it into an abstract of sorts. It always amazes me that I am now committing such violence to Nature shots, as when I first started in photography, I was the ultimate "purist", and wanted every image to be tack sharp, and well exposed and composed. When digital imaging came along, I felt it was the Devils curse upon photography, and it would never go far anyway....Now, all these years later, here I am, taking 2 lovely little Sparrows, and turning them into this Abstract piece of work. My in house art critic just hates this stuff, but for what ever reason, I still get a kick out of this sort of image, and when you get to be my age now, anything that gives you a mood kick is all good. No offence intended to the Nature purists.....I will post nice clean shots of birds in due time, but indulge me for now. Here's wishing everyone an enjoyable Winter season, and Christmas and New Years as well...Cheers!
