Beep, beep - Toot, toot

I got a very surprising email the other day. It was from a nice lady I don't know, and she told me that my blog had been included on some list. What list? A list of 50 Amazing Nature Photography Bloggers. Say whaaaa? Heather of the Hills is included among a list of top-notch nature photo bloggers, many of which I follow regularly and admire greatly. So yeah, I'm tooting my own horn a little bit here. Thanks for allowing me to do so. (Many thanks go to Emma for including me in the list. I am so honored and grateful!)


This photo was enhanced quite a bit in Picasa. In the original, the clouds had just the slightest tint of pink to them, so I decided to accentuate that a bit. I also kicked up the contrast and brought out the shadows to make the trees "pop" better against the snow.
By the way, we got even more snow this weekend. It's almost March, and we still have snow. I can't believe it. Oh well. I'm just quietly biding my time until spring, eagerly awaiting the return of the Eastern Phoebe to our woods and the bloom of the Mayapple "forest".
