Snow Caps

Posted by Russ Devan (New Hanover, United States) on 30 November 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

I love how the big, fluffy snowflakes thickly accumulated on top of these narrow cattails. You know there wasn't any wind while it was snowing and the snow was somewhat warm and wet enabling the flakes to stick together, for this to happen.

"The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."

The change in the black/white - white/black pattern of the plants against the background is captivating. Well done!
