09Jan06 The Retreat - 9674

Connecticut

Photo a Day, Day 285...Snow retreating from the rocks as it slowly melts on our gorgeous 58F day today... Something quite cool with the macro lens was that I could actually watch the little crystals melt away as I was focusing for the shot.

Superb texture - trust the 100mm macro to grab this sort of detail. Nice idea

The crystals look quite fragile, don't they? Beautiful image ...

CJ, thank you for this beautiful image that encourages one to stop and reflect on our beautiful earth. Love the textures of the ice against the rock.

The sun is just strong enough that i can see the process happening. Wonderful textures here CJ.

It was in the 50s today! Urgggg.. didn't get to enjoy one second of it.
Great title for this CJ. It's revealing everything that's hidden beneath.
