What strange weather today. When I went for a mid-afternoon walk, it was overcast, about 42 degrees, and crazy windy. It’s windy out here a lot of the time, often unpleasantly so, but today the wind actually felt kind of warm. Not exactly a tropical breeze warm, but a warmth more on the side of spring than winter, anyway. What’s nice out here is the wooded, protected areas that block breeze; the ravine behind our house feels even more sheltered.
I spent a good deal of the walk alongside a little seasonal stream that carries water away from the road up at the top of the ravine. It’s been freezing and unfreezing the last couple of weeks — see some pictures I took here, when it was frozen — but today, the shallowest stretches, pretty much puddles, were thawed. Water started dripping down from the trees, and then it started dripping more, and then it started…RAINING! But it was barely dripping, so I stayed outside for another hour or so.
By the time I got back to the house the rain was coming down a little harder, and now it has turned into snow, as if to defy my expectations of what mid-February weather should look like. Point taken, weather gods.
1. My favorite new juxtaposition, new growth against old. It's been four or five days since my last walk down in the woods and there's about twice as many new little plants pushing their way up off the forest floor.
2
3. A depression filling with water just to the side of the stream; it seems to have the same beer-colored effect going on as what happens in the driveway….you can see pictures of that little phenomenon here.
4. As beerish as it may be, the color makes a nice backdrop to reflections of tree silhouettes, I think.
5. I believe these are Canadian nettle leaves, but I don't know what the stem belongs to. I like the reddish pink tinge and the lenticels.
6. Fungus!
7. Toothy poplar?
8. Tree reflections in the temporary stream.
9. One of the frozen parts of the stream's surface.
10.
11. Whee, a little berry!
12. It's always fun to find an old dead leaf that has retained some of its green color.
13. Pin oak leaf in the stream.
14.
15. The world's tiniest whirlpool?
16. Hopefully you see my message in the bubbles.
17. Black walnut shells
18. Sad/funky old Dr. Pepper can
19. Underside of can.
20. Prominent mid rib of leaf.
21.
22.
23.
24. Favorite juxtaposition part 2
25. Little clump of moss with both sporophyte and gametophyte!
26. Ouch.
27.
28. That's new green growth you see at the base of this stem. It's one of perhaps half a dozen plants I've noticed that are already producing new growth. Unfortunately I'm not sure what this is.
29.
30.
31. Some odd little fungal growth that I've been noticing on the undersides of many a branch. They seem to be getting larger and whiter.
32. Virginia creeper?
33. Interestingly-colored strip of bark.
34. Partially-eaten leaf.
35. Sweet cicely seeds.
36. These little growths are utterly mysterious to me...they're these masses of what look like unfurled leaves or seed capsules or something, glommed together with this silky, fluffy stuff. I saw them on several different trees but never before this walk.
37. Part of the above-mentioned structure. These look like the underside of a flower's sepals or something.
38. Lovely lichen.
39. Bear floss?
40. Closeup of one of the logs that comprises the fort my niece, nephew, and friends built down in the woods.
beautiful.
Thank you, Mike!
Even though photo #9 shows a frozen surface, it looks to me like it’s in the process of boiling over. Interesting.
I was thinking cottage cheese or something along those lines. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
just beautiful and so thorough
Thank you so much, Lesley!
Message received . . . great textures, as usual, and imaginative perspectives.
Thank you kindly! I try to become one with the bugs to get some different perspectives. 😀
great set of photo’s 🙂
Thank you very much! 🙂
Beautiful series1
Thanks so much, Sonali!
Such a keen eye!
Thank you very much, Louis!
love the little berry! hehe
Thanks, Kedar! It’s fun to find such vivid little pops of color.
lovely photos – and yep, saw the message in the bubbles! Right back atcha 🙂
Thanks so much! 😀
LOVE how you pointed out the new/old juxtapositions…such cool imagery!
🙂
Thank you very much, Mikalee!
These are A-mazing!! You have a keen eye for close detail. Congrats on being freshly pressed 🙂
Thank you very much! The small details are far and away my favorite subjects.
I love all the detail shots you got. Such neat textures and colors.
Thank you, Carlie!
beautiful!
Thanks very much! 😀
Woo hoo, Sarah. Congrats on being Freshly Pressed. Well deserved for these and other beautiful shots.
Thank you so much, Neil! 😀
I like your pictures!
Thank you! 🙂
These are amazing, it’s unbelievable the amount of beauty that can be found in a winter world that others may describe as “dead”. Thanks for sharing!!
That has most definitely been my theme this winter. So glad you enjoyed the pictures and thanks for stopping by!
I love photos of nature and yours are beautiful! Would love to take a walk in those woods!
Thanks so much! It’s a lovely place.
Beautiful! Love that lichen.
And props for identifying plants in winter condition… it can be quite the challenge!
Absolutely, it is a big challenge, but it’s been a lot of fun too. Some plants there’s almost nothing to go off of, but if you do a little digging they eventually reveal themselves. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
Beautiful pictures – they make me want to grab my camera and take a walk in the woods myself. Never thought fungus could look so good in a pic!
I looove taking pictures of different kinds of fungi…there’s such interesting variety down here and they’re such unique life forms. Thank you very much for stopping by!
Great post and I’m also a fellow blogger from Minnesota! I live in SW Minneapolis and also love to take pictures and write about this great city. Your photos are fabulous! Thanks for letting other readers know about our great state and congrats on the FP!
Hello, fellow Minnesotan! 🙂 Always fun to see another one. Thank you so much for the kind words and I am really excited to be Freshly Pressed on a post celebrating a little bit of what Minnesota has to offer.
(Just checked out your blog and “About” — so cool that you’ve been able to travel so extensively! And I was a French major too. 🙂 )
Thanks for the response! I just subscribed to your blog so I can get updates on your fabulous photography. Where do you live? Do you use your French anymore? I rarely do expect on travels. I’m now trying to learn some Spanish and someday I would LOVE to learn photography! I just use my little point and click digital on all my trips.
I’m down around Mankato right now. Unfortunately I don’t really use my French at all these days, but I try to stream French radio from time to time in the hopes that when that call comes to be swept away to France, I will be ready.
I use a point and shoot too right now, but I still have a ton of fun with it. There’s still a lot you can learn that way! I’m going to get a dslr later this year, though.
And look who got Freshly Pressed? Congrats, Sarah. Well-earned! Keep up the most excellent work.
That definitely brightened my day! Thank you so much, Shannon!
Great photography. You really get in close there to show great detail. Thanks for sharing. Connie
http://7thandvine.wordpress.com/
Thank you very much, Connie, glad you enjoyed! 🙂 I do love the details.
Lots of really lovely photos with interesting subjects and great accompanying notes. Am particular struck by #14 with the twig and surface tension. Nice shot 😉
Thank you so much, I’m glad you liked them! I thought that stream was a photographic goldmine even at a trickle now, and will be excited to document it as spring arrives. 🙂
Don’t you believe that you just gave the ‘world of natural photography’ a new achievement ?? 😀 In love with this post !! Cheers 😀
http://raajtram.wordpress.com
I’m not sure how much I’ve achieved but I’m so happy that you enjoyed it! Thank you very much for stopping by! 🙂
Some excellent images. Your idea of getting close up with nice detail is great.
Thanks so much, Geoff!
Lovely photos, and congrats on being Freshly Pressed! (from another Minnesota Sarah). Peace! 😉
Hi, fellow Sarah (and Minnesotan)! 🙂 Thank you so much!
Great photographies ! Thanks for you sharing 🙂
You’re welcome, and thanks for stopping by!
Lovely macros!
Thank you kindly!
Beautiful shots… 😉
As a little girl,I played in the woods in my back yard,near Battle Creek,Minnesota…and I loved these intricate little treasures of nature I’d come upon.Thankyou for helping me visit that wonderful childhood playfield once more.I will treasure these fantastic photos.
the history is not only beautiful if not your photos too
Thank you so much, Wende! I’m so glad these pictures were able to bring back memories of childhood for you.
Thank you so much! 😀
I love this. It reminds me of my walks in the coulees of the ranch in North Dakota. I love it when the seasons change and there are little discoveries around every corner. Thanks for sharing. I love Minnesota too 🙂
Thank you very much! It’s really exciting to see all the little changes that occur day by day — hour by hour, even in the changing light, but thinking primarily of the season’s progression here — in such a small area.
Gorgeous photos!
Thank you! 😀
Love the close-ups. Very artistic. Like from some photography/art book. You are very talented!
Thank you so much for the kind words! 🙂
Enchanting photos. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for visiting!
The photo of the depression filling with the beer-colored reflection is a great shot!
Thank you so much! That was very fun to discover, I’d never seen that particular spot fill with water like that.
Really like 4, 8 and the close detail in the water of 13-16, especially that one when your camera’s reflection is in the bubble. Isn’t it amazing how simple bits of nature are actually great art?
Thank you so much, John! I find myself perhaps unduly amused by being able to capture reflections, especially in things so small as bubbles.
I love all of them, but 8, 27, and 36 have to be my favorites. Eight looks so mysterious…like a shrouded forest lost in time, captured in a pool over water.
Thank you so much! The reflections are some of my favorites as well.
“been there, done that” 😉 You captured it beautifully ! (love the little berry shot! )
Thank you, glad you like the little berry! 🙂
You have the eye of an artist. Great work!
Thanks for the kind words!
I love all those photos! Beautiful and stunning, especially those fungi photos!
Thanks so much! I think fungi is endlessly interesting and I’m glad you liked my pictures of them.
Beautiful pictures. I really like #3 as well as the Dr. Pepper can. Very nice work!
Thank you, Michael!
I’m also in Minnesota and I love macro photography. I just got a new camera and you’ve inspired me to get back out (or even inside) and taking pictures!
Awesome! Good luck to you!
OMG!
These are amazing!
Keep photographing!

So glad you liked them! Thanks for stopping by.
I loved this set of photos, and would like to ask what camera/lens you were using? Thank you for the enjoyment. 😀
Thank you very much, so glad you liked this set. I don’t have a dslr (yet) so no special lens; my camera is a Canon Ixus (or Canon Elph), which is a very nice little point and shoot.
# 36 & 37 look like empty cotton bulbs
Yeah, I can definitely see that. Thanks for stopping by!
Ah…Minnesota! Miss it! Kaua’i is 180 degrees different! Your photos let me remember, however….
I can only imagine! I’m glad my photos could bring back some memories of MN. Thanks for visiting!
The one’s of the water are TO DIE FOR, and the underside of the Coke can is just, like, amazing! 🙂
Thank you! I’m so happy you enjoyed them!
love all your photos and it captured the details vividly.. envious that you take beautiful pictures.. i wish i have the same talent but i’m just a newbie.. thanks for sharing and congrats for being FP.
I’m just beginning too and learning all kinds of things along the way. I’m very pleased you like my pictures — thanks for visiting!

Beautiful Sarah, such gorgeous intimate details.
Thank you, I’m so happy you liked them!
I loved your pictures! What kind of camera do you use?
Thank you so much! I have a Canon Ixus, this one right here as a matter of fact.
Haha, thanks! I just might get this sometime soon because I want a better camera…Does it have good field depth?
these are beautiful pictures! you have a knack for capturing color and closeups. i especially like the log photo with the texture and striations. keep it up! definitely following your blog : )
Thank you so much, glad you like the blog enough to follow along. 🙂
Beautiful 🙂 I also live in MN, originally from up north, loved how vivid the changing of the seasons were, you dont get that as much in the cities.

Wonderful photos! Congratulations on being Freshly Pressed!
You’ve given an ex-botany student some fun things to look at. The fungal growth in #31 looks like a slime mold called Diachea leucopeda. #32 does look like Virginia Creeper, what with the circular leaf scars. I’m not sure about #27 and #28, but the square stem and opposite leaves suggest it might be a type of nettle, or possible a member of the mint family. I have no idea what species the seed pods are from…
Thanks again for posting this. 😀
I’m so happy you stopped by and knew what some of this stuff was! I have enough problems figuring out what the plants are sometimes (remembering the proper terminology when I’m sending Google searches out into the void, for instance) and some of the keys I’d like to use kind of don’t exist. 🙂 I’m even more out to sea when it comes to fungi. I’m reasonably certain now the pictures in 27 and 28 are in fact a nettle like you suggested — I knew there was a lot of nettle down here but I didn’t think what I was looking at was the same thing, because it had different flowers from the plant I was familiar with. Then I looked it up and saw it was the same plant and the male and female flowers were different.
Thanks again for stopping by!
Beautiful. I love being in the woods.
Thanks, Dan! I do too (probably goes without saying).
Hah, my name’s Sarah and i love taking photos too ❤ (And my mom's from MN!) Anyway, these are great photos, I especially love the lichen! Very, very good 😉
Hi, Sarah! Thank you very much, glad you liked the pictures.
My God what an attention to detail you have! And your use of color is striking. Thank you for showing me that great photography is not dead in this digital age.
Wow, thanks, Steve! Very kind words indeed. Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you! I used to take some photographs back before the digital revolution killed my spirit, and before digital cameras attained the ability to actually take nice photographs. Even though I see a common sense of adventure and exploration in our techniques, I don’t think I was ever quite as good as you. You seem to capture not only a perfect subject each time, but perfectly lit and balanced in color and texture.
Great photography. You are a very careful discoverer, and a very nice photographer. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much, Shelley!
The lack of snow is so strange! At least yesterday we got a little bit here in the burbs of Minneapolis. Great pictures!
Thank you very much! The lack of snow is strange, yet awesome, so that’s fine.
Lovely photos, Sarah. The “beer” colour in your puddles comes from humic and fulvic acids, released as organic material breaks down. It is what gives some water in the Highlands of Scotland the same dark amber colour. Good for photos though 🙂
Looking forward to more pics!
All the best,
David
Thank you so much, David! I’m glad you enjoy my pictures and I’m so happy someone was able to tell me what is responsible for the color of the water. I’ve been curious about that for a couple of years now. Thanks again!
Some superb photos you have here….& a lot of patience adding a lil explanation which makes it more enjoyable,cheers
So glad you enjoyed the pictures and the commentary. Thank you! 🙂
Beautiful photography! You have a brilliant eye for details!

Thank you very much for reblogging my entry! I’m so glad you enjoyed my photos.
Mmmmm . . . . looks very similar to southern Michigan . . . . . I’m really glad to see this post, because though I discover and photograph things in nature very similar to this, I had no idea anyone be interested in my musings and microscopic views . . . perhaps I’ll have to publish those photos someday! Very nice work. : )
I think you should definitely publish those photos! I for one am always interested to see other people’s finds in nature. Thanks so much for stopping by, Joanna!
Love your work here!
Thanks, Amanda!
Congratulations on making Freshly Pressed!
Your ability to notice the details in nature and appreciate the beauty therein is your gift. Well done.

Thank you, Michele! I’m glad you enjoyed the post.
Some great shots here, what equipment do you use?
Thanks Hideous Penguin Boy (love the username), I have a point and shoot, a Canon Ixus, so nothing fancy at the moment.
Isn’t it amazing what you can find in the woods when you take the time to look closely enough and have some imagination? Most people just trod along and never see the hidden beauty.
Yeah, even at its dullest and dampest there’s always something interesting hiding in there. Thanks for looking at my photos!
I love how so up close and personal you get!!!!
It takes something ‘casual’ and makes it really ‘intimate’!!!!
Thank you so much, Catherine! I love being able to see a few more details through the camera’s lens than we typically do with the naked eye.
I loved d bubbles shot 🙂 Congrats on being freshly pressed !!
Thanks very much! The bubbles were one of my favorites too.
Beautiful! Makes me want to go for a walk in the woods.
I definitely endorse walking the woods. Thanks for taking the time to look at my pics!
Thank you for sharing your poetic images, water logged leaves, reflections, winter decay, and signs of spring approaching. Walt Whitman would have enjoyed your images, I’m certain.
That’s a nice thought, to be sure. 🙂 Thank you very much for stopping by!
Lovely macro work! I love to see beauty in the little details we step over every day. Congrats on being freshly pressed! I will be back for sure

Thank you so much, Kristine! I’m glad you like the photos and appreciate the small details as well.
Hello from Duluth. Nice photo 🙂
Hey, Duluthian! (Duluther? Duluthite?) Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks so much! I am incredibly lucky to be so near a place like this.
Beautiful post. Thank you for bringing a part of Minnesota to a guy who lives in Assam, India. Thats the best part about beauty – the fact that its universal. Good work.
Thank you so much! Glad I could bring a little bit of Minnesota to you. 🙂
Great macro shots!
Thanks! 😀

What camera settings did you use for this set of photos? Thank you for sharing! 🙂
CarrieLynn
Thanks, CarrieLynn! I thought that Dr. Pepper can was pretty fun (considering it’s a piece of trash!). This is the compact I use, and I think I get some pretty decent photos from it especially with its macro setting.
Very cool! Thanks for responding. And not to “spam” or anything. I just started updating my blog again after a long hiatus…please feel free to visit my own blog if you so desire!

Wow, love everyone one of those images!!!! It’s so funny to see another person photograph the same things I love to photograph as well. When people see my photography in my store, they look it for such a long time and then turn around and tell me:
Wow, I step over these things all the time and you just have shown me to see the beauty they have! Yup, that’s what we do, we show the world a different way to see the beautiful things, that may not be beautiful at times….Beautiful work…
ps: If you have a chance, check out my post called ” Get Back To Zenerity” …

I see your work and I see myself in it, It’s just great to see someone that likes photographing these simple things of nature, yet they are just stunning.. It’s funny cause I have notice people look at me with these crazy stare look when I’m photographing things like this! ” We” bring that beauty out for others to see! Wonderful work…Laz
How lovely. I’ve found that kind of day feels the same no matter where you are in the world. Thanks for the pictures!
beautiful photos! I live the small world you have captured. There is so much wonder we can discover just within a few inches or a few feet. And every season has its beauty as well-winter is definitely in its starkness, in its neutral tones, in it’s preparation and hibernation, readying itself for spring in all its decomposing goodness 🙂 thanks for the photos!
Great close up photography. Your photos brought back memories of my own winter hikes through the woods of Michigan. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much, glad the pictures brought back some memories!

Nothing like a walk and seeing all the unseen that just sits there and waits until spring to come “alive” again, yet the life in those things considered dead is amazing. The picture of the berry especially is most intriguing.
Thank you very much! I think there’s so much that’s inherently interesting and beautiful to be found in places like our woods, even with few signs of (active) life. Especially when this is the reality of life for a good half of the year, although the really deep winter part doesn’t last so long.
Fine photos; and thanks for liking my crocodile photo blog post!
