The snow-covered tree image popped up in my FB Memories this morning, from a post 2 years ago on this date. I've always looked at trees, foliage, nature... in terms of "layers". It's sort of like having hundreds of clear acetate sheets/images on top of one another. I also think of looking through a microscope? The other images are from the first tree photo I was editing for my foggy Sunday walk post the other day. It's a rabbit hole I find hard to resist jumping into...

It started snowing halfway through my walk this morning. Pretty, especially with the streetlights when I got closer to downtown and the river. I didn't take any photos. This shot was taken after a light dusting of snow in Feb 2021.

Yesterday, Sunday morning, 9am and I look out the window: Sunshine! Photo walk! By the time I got to the river, it was misty and foggy. Foggy! Yes! Photo walk!

One of my favorite things in life right now is reading bedtime stories to our 5yo twin granddaughters. I love how they correct my pronunciations, and interrupt me with their backstories. Lots of giggling and laughter, and negotiating for more books...

two photos from 9 years ago an this date, 10Freb2014

I think these photos were taken during the same walk. I usually shoot with the camera settings on Auto, and I got a warmer image in the first shot. I tried to get a cooler image by editing it just now.

Nothing quite like leafless trees in Winter, with early morning sunlight and blue skies - 9Feb2021

8Feb2021

I'll start taking photos again when it warms up a little more. This morning was a full moon 37F walk. Thoughts of Cebu. Until then, it's deja vu time with my FB Memories... These were from 8Feb2021.

A big part of photography for me is the editing after I return home. I'm still going through our island hopping photos, and finding ones I passed on the first time. The man in the small boat came out to tell us they have a larger boat to take us in to the island if we wanted to visit. Typhoon Odette completely destroyed their pier, and much of the restaurant.
