The fog was thick for this #wednesdaywalk by @tattoodjay
The trees by the lake created a nice depth of field with all the fog.
It had rained all night so the lake was nice and full with a glassy reflection.
I was hoping to see the cormorant sitting on the stones here but it must have moved on to warmer climates.
Some areas of the lake remind me of old oil paintings with so much fog reducing clarity.
I wonder how one would go about creating an oil painting of this drab landscape?
This composition would need some sort of splash of color to make it successful as a painting. Maybe a red cardinal perching in the foreground on the reeds would look nice.
The rose hips are nice and red for a splash of color. The few birds that are still left here are picking halfheartedly at these while they migrate to warmer climates.
This time around I brought my wide angle lens with me so this squirrel looks very far away from the lens but this is just a branch a couple of feet above my head. The squirrel was comfortable gnawing on a large walnut while I tried to crane the camera as close to it as possible.
Now I've nearly rounded the lake and have to head back home.
On my way home I spotted my neighbor's holiday themed crows. This time they are decked out for Christmas. I wonder what they will look like for New Year's eve.
That's all for now, snow photos coming soon...
