You understand how desperate things are when after five miles you're seriously hunting some lichen because there's NOTHING new! Played around with it just because :) Another cloudy day.
This turned out great, Lanie! Love the colors and your focus. I've been struggling finding photos as well. Maybe we just have to wait until we get to Yellowstone!
Yeah, I feel your desperation. I can't wait for longer days!!! Where I live, we're still only getting 8 hours of daylight plus half an hour of twilight. And it all happens when I'm at work. Not to mention it's -35 degrees Celsius out right now. At least on those dreary days in the summer there's more stuff alive out there to shoot, and enough light to shoot it with. You've done well though. This is an interesting shot. Good job pushing through.
