Bridal Veil Falls Mississippi River

 Yesterday, we went for a walk from campus past the Franklin Avenue bridge on the east bank of the river.  We stopped and saw an ice climber at Bridal Veil Falls.

We also saw a flock of winter robins.  It was too hard to get more than one bird in a picture. 

Side Light In The Morning

I took another photography class from Eric Mueller yesterday about understanding light.  One of the reminders was that I need to take more pictures.  This morning, I decided to take some with the beautiful morning light and to explore some textures.  

This photo is the only one which was not edited and for that reason I almost like it best.  I am going to take Eric's  editing class, but I have a voice inside, which I've named "the Puritan" which says things like "editing is cheating".  At the same time, I'm also interested in what it can offer, since I am not a journalist. 

Basket from Bishop Hill 

The rest of these have been edited, but not heavily.  I have always enjoyed the textures on the radiators.  I can't say that I got the shot that I wanted, but I also wanted to remember my first attempt.

Art Shanty Project 2022

Today was my first time to go to the Art Shanty Project.  M and I ventured out today.  It was cold, but not as cold as it's been the last few days.  

In the Tick-Tock Shanty, this guy leaned to down, so that his face was framed nicely for my pic.  I gave him a big thumbs up when I was done.  This is probably my favorite pic because of that.  

I didn't take a lot of pictures and it was hard to see what I had taken until I got home.
