Blizzard, Part 2
The snow has stopped and the wind has died down, but there was still a lot of snow spelunking to be done this morning...

Blizzard
When I ventured out today in the still-blowing, still-falling snow for some cell phone pictures, I found mostly drifts of all shapes and sizes:
This has always been my favorite house on the block...
Main Street, Edgartown:
My mother:
Last view before turning home.

Heron
I scared up a great blue heron on a recent walk with the dogs and so, determined to return without dogs and with camera, I walked back to the same spot this afternoon. I very nearly missed this guy (or girl) until I was just ten feet away.
Harassed to flight by the shutter.
A better hiding spot:
I tried to track the heron to the far shore, but no luck finding great blue again. So, I headed out to South Beach for the sunset because old tricks are new to me and I need to try them for myself. New toy #2.

Helios fun
I finally got a chance today to take a new manual lens out for a quick spin. The bokeh is the point.

Cassandra Redux
I knew it would be a good sunset when I saw the Whaling Church tower turn pink and I headed to the standby, where in fact the sky was filled with color.

No Owl
But all birds in flight are neat. And the sand pattern illuminated and catching shadows. And a ride back in a warm truck.

Frostbite
I was disappointed this morning when reports of sea smoke started coming across the 'Book because I was otherwise inescapably occupied and couldn't get out to take any photos, so I set out in the afternoon to find what I could find anyway. I could only take a few shots at a time before my fingers were so numb I couldn't feel the shutter (and this was with two pairs of gloves and only two tips exposed), but that coldness also enabled the pond to be frozen enough to venture out past the phragmites for yet another stunning Vineyard sunset.
With the last of the light dropping, and the temperature oddly rising to double digits, a classic take.

Milky Way
I have struggled to get the stars in focus, so astrophotography is a new genre for me, but I still liked these two images, from two separate nights, enough for their presumption of a self-portrait: tiny me and distant stars.

New Year
All good teachers know that the real New Year comes in September: a
time of reflection, resolutions and renewal. Everyone else just shoots
off fireworks in December. But because I'm on vacation, I can stay up
late and photograph those fireworks, and then wake up early to photograph the first sunrise of the year.
This composite reminds me of seashells for some reason. Or snowflakes, varied in their shapes.
I got very excited when I first saw this owl against the sunrise, and then I thought it was fake, but then it moved its head and I was still excited. Not as much when it continued to swivel its head all the way around, which owls are wont to do, but in a too-smoothly-mechanical way to be a real owl. Still, I've never seen it there before, so I had to revisit this spot in broad daylight (decoy).
