You can tell what time of the year it is by all those water bubbles. Cold weather makes that water fall look like a commercial for Calgon . . kind of. Which ain’t a bad thing, the idea of soaking, just so long as it’s in a WARM bath and yanno, not outside. I ain’t looking to join the Polar Bears Club, those peeps are nuts.
As for the capture, I have a question. How did you get the water to stand still while you snapped a shot? You must do wonders with kids!
You have a point. I didn’t associate the cold with the bubbles. You’re such a smart cookie. And yeah, I never did (nor ever will) understand those Polar Bears Club peeps. Gimme warmth to soak in!
It’s magic! That same magic I do not have when it comes to kids, unfortunately …
It’s the gases, releasing with more ferocity and thrust when they can’t keep up with the flow.
I did consider it once upon a time when I was younger and stupider. I settled for the happy medium of a frosty cerveza instead. That’s how I problem solve.
I have been asked a few times to go join a friend. I have declined and shall continue to do so and hey, may I join you for a frosty? I like the way you problem solve.
Joining the Polar Bear Club is akin to sticking yourself in a freezer until spring. As in, you get just what you think you’re gonna get. The brochure doesn’t lie about any of it, at all.
Haha! Yeah. No. The one trying to convince me to join says it’s great. After you freeze your balls off (or whatever part of the body) you then can go cook in the sauna. By the way, I don’t dig on saunas either…
So you subject your body to dangerously freezing temperatures and then chase that dumb shit with a tub of boiling water? Hopefully, you call the show “1,000 Ways To Die” to give them a heads up on their next story!
I hate the cold so this represents me quite well. It evokes layers upon layers, a hoodie attached to my head like a crash helmet. Melancholy the theme as I feel for the birds and squirrels fiercely foraging, wondering how in hell Heidi did it, even with such a sweet grandfather.
Your pictures always stir and sire emotions, a wonderful talent that you have.
I can’t say I hate the cold as much as you – though I’m not far behind and this morning, after a sleepless night, I chose not to freeze my ass off with a walk. It is rather melancholy in picture but it was so thrilling in person. That rush of water (and hard to believe that “waterfall” is a mere 12 inches high). I wonder about the animals, too.
The opening pic had me thinking ice, but that’s not to be. Ice was on my mind because we have our first icy glaze on the roads for the season. Happy Wednesday.
I’m not a big fan of ice and snow but there’s something magic about the way ice forms on twigs and blades of grass. Such a challenge to catch in a painting. 😉 As always you’ve given me chills with this picture.
I can’t say I am, either. But it is oh so pretty to photograph. And this waterfall (all of 12 inches high) was particularly lovely. Glad I gave you chills… 😉
Me too. I could have had one this morning if I had slept worth a damn last night. Mind you. it was freezing cold this morning! 18F – feels like 7… I was not inspired.
Oh gawd. That humidity goes right through to the bones. And I was a bit of a wimp this morning because of my lack of sleep. Probably would have been good to go out there anyway but whatevs. Too late now!
The bubbles, I thought of you. Same as I have another with ripples on the surface of the river – I know pay even more attention to the patterns thanks to you. I always did but more so now.
Ahh, AGM Dale! The bubbles look like a neat texture for a gown!
Lolol! seeing as how I use off cuts, fabrics destined for land fill and any bit of trash that inspires me…. suddenly bubble wrap seems like a great idea! I have used it several times to stuff bussels and fluff out petticoats, but until now the idea of it, as a main component evaded me! ⚡️💥
