Winter Daydream
Today I woke up to a winter wonderland sparkly daydream. The snow day was too perfect not to take pictures.

September Fire
So I decided to play around with shooting into the sun. What it produced was a beautiful lens glare…and in some cases it almost looked like fire! Usually shooting into the sun produces silhouettes.
