Brown County Indiana: Winter-Spring

Having enjoyed following the "story" of Olivia's garden for several months, I decided that I would like to do something similar; I wanted to document the days and seasons of the forest that surrounds my home. So I got a good, easy to carry P&S (Canon SD550) and took it with me on my walks with the dogs. Here are the results starting in winter 2005 and going on through spring of 2006.

Creek in Snow
This braided creek has a lot of trouble staying "between the lines" which the snow shows really well.

Winter Lake
A wet snow and an unfrozen lake make for shot that looks like something that Ansel Adams might have wanted to photograph.

I thought this was beautiful when you first took it and I love it just as much the second time around.

Down in the Hollow - Winter
The main hollow that runs through our property down to the camp. It's my favorite place on our property.

Abstract ice art.
The woods are pretty static in the winter but freezing and thawing do offer up some nice patterns.

So many of your photos, like this one, seem to have an elusive extra ingredient. Are you certain there aren't Naiads living in your streams?

Re: fOtofair2006: Winter and Spring (none / 1)

I love this. There's a place where we go hiking regularly, and every winter, we see the frozen water in these kinds of patterns, risen up on the reeds and equisetum as the water level falls away. You picture of that is quite beautiful.

You are a great photographer of nature, Andi.

Abstract creek art.
As in winter, the creeks in early spring offer a diversion while waiting for the woods to get "busy".

Very early spring
I took this picture because I liked the sharp edges of the dead tree against the light background but the suggestion of the green to come made me ridiculously happy.

Green reflections
The intensity of the green in spring often seems unreal to me. It's good to have photographs that prove it isn't.

Hard to pick a favorite, but after much consideration and repeated viewings, this one is it. Tied in a very close second were Winter Lake and Canopy Up Close.

Re: fOtofair2006: Winter and Spring (4.00 / 5)

I like it a lot too -- it may not be purple and wet but it sure as hell is green and wet. ;)

Down in the Hollow -- Spring
In spring, the canopy is so heavy you can be down in the hollow during rain and not get wet.

Wow...almost makes me want to leave SoCal for someplace with seasons besides cool, nice, hot and fire. Almost. I think my fave is the winter lake one. It's like a Christmas card painting.

Andi, these are truly enchanted and enchanting pictures. No words of mine could match the superlativeness(is that a word?)of these small pieces of art.

Thank you AndiF for your photos and your contribution toward making the fair possible.

I really like winter and appreciate your photos - subtleties, almost patterns, hints of color, lines, sparkle, fluff, and reflections - gorgeous.
