The first real snow came yesterday and in late afternoon a large flock of starlings were braving the wet snow and wind, grazing the tops of trees and falling like leaves from branches.
(I hope the GIF isn’t too annoying, it would be nice to be able to click on it and make it stop! Oh well…)

This entry seems to fit well with the WordPress Daily Post Prompt Rearrange.
Looking through the windshield on a rainy afternoon …
I made some photographs outside of the car, too, but it was this view through wavering raindrops that truly caught my eye.

I think I prefer the charcoal-sketch look of the black and white images but the autumn colours are lovely at the moment.

Observing the changes in the landscape. Shifts, slow and subtle, others without restraint. As much as I adore summer it is autumn (and winter) when I most love to make photographs.

Camera play: Photographs made from a moving car using a ‘point and shoot’ camera (Olympus Tough TG4) and polarized sun glasses as an improvised filter. It’s not very green here yet but we are getting there.

There was a small taste of spring here before winter came back to to say its goodbyes. The cold and strong winds of a few days ago have fashioned some icy sculptures along the river’s edge and on this quiet morning a thin layer of fresh ice was singing and straining under the stirring of a waking river. Later today we are promised snow and the landscape will transform temporarily yet again. As much as I find these transformations fascinating and lovely to photograph, I think I am quite ready for real spring.
