We’ve had a couple of weeks of below freezing weather here but today warmed up to the 50’s. It was a good chance to spend a few hours back in Great Falls Park, VA.  I was hoping for some nice sunrise sky color but the cloud cover prevented that so I worked on capturing shots of the water and found several other subjects, like the ice-bound leaf below, to photograph.  I think it’s a good representation of the chilly winter.

Some of the rocks in the river still had a covering of snow from our big storm back before Christmas.  I used a polarizer/neutral density filter to create the long exposures needed for that ‘milky’ appearance of the water.
