I cheated a little with the photos below. It’s nice to think that the sky was all pink and blue, but in reality, it was gray. The whole scene was gray with black highlights. What really captured my attention was this flock of birds up in the top of the tree. They look like little plump raisins, don’t they? There were two trees quite close together that were filled with these plump raisins, chirping away like mad. I darkened the photo a little to give it more of a silhouette look and then I just had to give some color to the background. I had to.
And in the category of “Interesting Yard Art,” I submit the following:
Those were close together in the same yard. I wondered, briefly, if it looked like I was doing some creepy stalking by taking photos of someone’s yard art. What would you think if you saw me out on the street taking photos of your yard? Would you call the police? Invite me in for coffee? Chase me down the street?
I’ll probably delete this in the morning. Don’t forget about the full moon on Sunday!!

Nice! I like the colors in your silhouette shots!
I think you could play with the white balance setting for the yard art shots so that the snow is white rather than bluish gray (this is a common problem with outdoor winter shots).

I actually did some editing with those two shots, too, to the point that I was afraid they looked kind of fake. I chose the same filter for both of them. So any weirdness about how the snow looks is mostly an editing decision. The point about white balance is a good one, though, and an option I often forget about. Thanks for the comments.

I’d like to think that if I found anyone with camera in hand that I would invite them in for coffee (or tea). But what does my house look like and what would that person think of me? If it would be you, I would swallow hard, make up some excuse for the house and welcome you in! You would definitely be an angel. I need to remember that the other person might be as well!Love the photos and thank you for the reminder!JEM

I’m not sure what I would do either, but if it was a familiar neighbor, I’d like to think I’d invite them in!
