A film photo taken in January 2023 Nikon F3 HP | Tokina 35-105mm | FujiFilm 400 | f/8 , 1/30

A black and white photo taken from behind tall wild plants that appear obscured in the front of the lens focused on a dog walking away from the camera through some tall grasses and many trees in the background. Some creeper vines twist around the bole of one of the trees.

A maple tree growing nearly horizontally over a pond is beginning to bud with its red blossoms. Three sliders have crawled out of the water to sun themselves on a branch that reaches into the water. The dark pond waters are disturbed and reflect the red hues and pale greens of the few green plants in this mid-winter image. Due to the use of the lens extender and the bright sunlight, the colors have taken on an almost unnatural quality and the image is a bit painterly at the edges such that the image almost looks like a photos processed in the 1970s.

A small stream that runs through the land I live on reflects the trees on its banks as the wind disturbs its surface. Leftover fall leaves wait.

A color photo of a pond from one bank showing the pond surface reflecting evergreens and bare hardwoods in winter from the opposite bank. Leaves and mosses are visible in the foreground and tree roots, as well as the trunk of a large hardwood are visible to the left of the frame. It's a grey day and the colors are muted.
