The word was “wild” so of course I went out into nature looking for something “wild” to photograph. I cam across a bunch of trees with red berries on them, so I basically stuff my camera in and took a bunch of pictures. I think the bright red color against the stark branches and the clutter of all the branches make this photo pretty “wild.”
Yes, this picture is from the same pond where I took last week’s picture. But I couldn’t resist taking more pictures of it and I thought that this was a great picture for the word “dry”! It’s crazy to think of a pond as “dry,” the winter snow dried up all the reeds. I really like this because even though the reeds are in water, they’re still all dried up.
I LOVE taking pictures in the snow. It makes everything look really different and interesting. I took a “photo expedition” walk outside in the snow and I came across the frozen-over pond. The colors in the frozen water looked super-weird and the little piles of snow around all the dried up plants really interested me. It’s funny how changes in weather can make everything look so unfamiliar…
I visited my undergrad college this weekend in southern Maryland. They got about two feet of snow. I was basically snowed in on Saturday, so I went around campus taking pictures. St. Mary’s College is super-beautiful in general, but when it snows, it’s nothing short of gorgeous. This is a small foot bridge over a pond connecting the townhouses to Admissions Field. This picture made me think of balance because of the composition of the photo and the nature of the bridge.
