The results of me not taking any photos recently
From March through September of this year, I took an average of 391 pictures a month, with 658 in July alone. So far in December? Twelve. And one of those is of a bottle of beer and a bowl of lentil soup (I may give that one a title: “Still Life: Late Night Dinner”).
What that ultimately means is that I have no new photos to bring up here. These, as a fill in for all the shots I didn’t recently get, are from the same morning stroll through a blanket of fog that gave me a post a month or so ago.

If this tangle was red, green, and gold, it could sell for $95 at a high end department store as a Christmas decoration/mantelpiece. As is it, I prefer it with these colors, as decoration for the pond.

A different perspective of a scene I showed you before. There’s just something about fog, isn’t there?

Get ready. This is only the first of a slew of similar shots of drops of dew. It occurs to me now I may have overdone that theme.

If you’ve been paying attention to my ever-changing header, you’ve seen this with a much more lush, green look. I still find it beautiful.

The same branch, from a little higher perspective. How do you like that half-circle whatchamacallit at the bottom? What is the term for that effect, anyway?

There is something special about a foogy morning and it’s captured here wonderfully!
I especially like the seond pic.

Thank you, Phil. I like that one as well, and the thing is, the day was much prettier than my photos indicate. I wouldn’t mind seeing an alligator to photograph…

Great shots Sid. I have no idea what that plant is. If I had to pick, I like the first picture of whatever it is.

Thanks, D. “Whatever it is” is the best I can do as well, until I haul out my tree field guide.

If you’re not in the groove for taking photos then don’t take them!
If we feel we have to take photos it becomes a chore and I know nobody who likes chores.
Nice fog pictures, I particularly like the open water shots.

Well, Stephen, it’s not a lack of desire but more a lack of time lately. I know what you mean about something becoming a chore, though, and you’re right. I’m still kind of chuckling about your ssstick, by the way.

Next best thing to serious photography is being silly!
December 18, 2012 at 4:54 pm
Sid, you make gorgeous photo’s. Oh my god.
December 18, 2012 at 4:15 pm
Oh, wow, Dianda. Thank you. You can comment here anytime!
December 18, 2012 at 10:44 pm
Haha.
You’re welcome!

I love the water-droplet dew shots. Fantastic.
December 18, 2012 at 5:43 pm
I seem to be drawn to that kind of picture, too. I’m glad it wasn’t water-drop overload.

Love the unknown seed pods. Also the fog which is evocative.
December 18, 2012 at 5:58 pm
I still need to find out what those are. Evocative is such a good word for fog!
December 18, 2012 at 10:47 pm
Beautiful foggy scenery, Sid.
And as for the plant, I really cannot identify it. I like the first picture better, anyway.
December 18, 2012 at 9:18 pm
Thank you. I’d have been really impressed if you could ID that plant, being that you’re about half a planet away…
December 18, 2012 at 10:48 pm
aww.. now i’m looking forward to go home. i miss taking photographs of nature!
December 19, 2012 at 5:15 am
You’re still traveling? Well, when you get back home, definitely take some pictures… and post them.

I want to live in a place like that

There are days… and here, there’s wifi some ways out from the visitor center…
December 20, 2012 at 12:30 pm
darn… that’d be almost perfect. It only it were in Canada…

The seed and drops are indeed tiny worlds.
Well done!
If you don’t post for the Christmas days any more: may I already wish you and your family a lovely Christmas time and a terrific start of 2013?
Cheers!
December 19, 2012 at 8:02 am
Of course! We wish you a wonderful Christmas as well, Paula, and a safe & peaceful 2013.

Sid, how small was the seed pod? It looks like an elm seed to me. Do you have elm trees there? If not, or if it’s larger, I have no idea what it could be, but it’s an interesting photograph subject.
December 20, 2012 at 10:37 pm
Well, I’d say those seed pods were two inches top to bottom maybe? I need to go back to that spot, as I just can’t now recall what size or shape that unit was. I guess I don’t think it was tree-like enough, but what do I know, Lori?

All the pics are mesmerizing….you have an amazing eye for photigraphy, so you are forgven your obsession with drops
If you ask me, I preferred the second last pic to the last…..it’s cool the way the seed pods (or whatever they are) look like lacework!
