I haven't been out shooting lately, but was able to get out the front door with my camera to shoot the wet, mossy rock outside the front door. I love the mix of earth tones in this shot. I'd love to try this out as a texture on the right shot.

I desaturated the cement walk to highlight the decomposing leaf. Wish I would have gotten the shot 2 days ago when there was more leaf to be seen.

Been watching this leaf on my step and wanting to shoot a picture of it but each day it got more and more tattered. I wish I had gotten a shot each day, but this one is still nice.

It has been snowing over the last 3 days here in Seattle. This is a shot outside our apartment along to walk to my car. The trees were coated with frozen ice and looked super cool. The small trees at work were amazing (sadly no camera). They had a thick coating of ice on the small branches that caught the light and glowed.

It is clear that Seattle is totally not prepared for snow. Our apartment complex hasn't shoveled any of the ice and snow off of the steps and only plowed once making waling and driving very hazardous.

Needless to say we are looking forward to our move back to Tucson. After working in an academic medical center for 28 years, you become accustom to a high level of quality of care. It is never delivered quickly, but typically done very well.
