Imbolc Sunrise

Boca Ciega Bay, St Petersburg, FL

Crow Hunting

Edward will be putting out the Imbolc message on Tuesday and he wanted a picture of crows sitting in a bare branched tree.  I've been seeing huge flocks of crows for the last few weeks on the way to and from work.  As luck would have it, after he mentioned it, the crows disappeared. 

Of course.

Saturday, when we were coming back from Lowes, we came across a a small flock.  There were a couple in one of the bare trees.  I didn't have a camera with me, so we had to go home and get it.  We went back and I got a few pictures, but they weren't very exciting. 

Then I got them into photoshop.  Nothing like a applying a few filters to make them look a lot cooler.  Oh, and photoshop is great for adding birds when you need more and the birds themselves aren't cooperating.  Five birds can become seven birds pretty easily.  As you'll see on Tuesday.

We got a picture that we like.  And then I started playing some more.  Nothing like some heavy photoshopping to make a dull picture more interesting.

Frost

It was cold in Florida this morning.  So much so that we had frost out on the ditch.  I had to get out there before the sun hit it.  Frost doesn't wait for people on vacation to get up, you know.
