Jan 20: Odds and Ends

I have a variety of photos today. Lilypads are always fun.

I’ve had multiple chances to shoot them lately. Always elegant, always beautiful. This one was enjoying the sunset. Just standing there, gazing at the dying light. This one was hanging out at Lake Istokpoga.  The bare branches behind this egret … Continue reading →
