After the snow that fell after Christmas, I spotted this bird perched on top of a cedar and it reminded me of a Christmas tree topper.
Hartman Park Night Class

Here is one a little different. I have been working on “light” painting scenes after dark. I thought the classroom area in Hartman Park, would be a tongue-n-cheek attempt at using this technique and implying a night class was in session. This method is created by using 12-15 images blended together, after using a flashlight to illuminate elements.

The small valley behind my house, formed by the mini creek which feeds into the river, is home to many quantities of large granite rock, deposited in prehistoric times some 20,000 years ago . A large depression, slightly to the left off screen, was dug in the 1930s as a stone quarry for a dam, which formed a pond in the valley just ahead.

After last year's big cut, the forest is coming back. The sea of thistle with its soft cotton tops created a welcoming path to see what is over the hill.
