I am working on some stop mo. I started a new diet, and I have noticed a bit of shakiness along with it, so I am waiting until it stops to work more on filming. I am, however, writing and planning. Scheming, if you will. I need some more money before I can buy more building supplies, so that will have to wait too. Cons are really expensive. Especially when you have unexpected expenses after being left at a train stop with no heat over night. (No, I probably will never get over that).
Right now it is freezing outside. Usually here in Oregon we get a lot of rain on this side of the state, but not a ton of snow or freezing. Last year we got a buttload of snow. This year we got thus far a little bit of snow, but below freezing tempuratures that temporarily dip up above freezing. They dip up long enough to thaw just a little bit, then they dip down again freezing everything that just melted into giant unmanageable sheets of ice. As far as getting around, this is tragic. I am kind of stuck in my cave at the top of a hill that is difficult to traverse when cased in ice. My joints are not really happy with me right now. They are taking thier revenge every chance they get. They barely get past the con weekend, then this happens. I have spent a lot of time in front of a space heater.
However....the ice may be dangerous, but it is also beautiful. I went out just for a little bit to do some capturing. I did some regular photogging on Monday, then today I put on the ole reversing ring and got some goreous close-ups of the ice. Ice is so beautiful. It can do so many things. I can't get over the textures I saw on the ice n the leaves and on the branches of the bushes and trees. I am posting a few below, but if you wanna see em all, you can go HERE or HERE to veiw the Flickr page.
