So, I'm glad you think it works!<br /><br />Glad you also enjoyed the info on the sundogs; now you can impress your friends with geeky cloud trivia as well ;).Sonya Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01879889885162011649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640331618261060721.post-74702742480665047232011-01-12T18:04:52.517-05:002011-01-12T18:04:52.517-05:00Love how you captured that effect of the snow &quo...Love how you captured that effect of the snow "catching" on the mountain. I've experienced that, and it feels very accurate here.<br /><br />Sundog! I didn't know that had a name. How totally cool. I LOVE the stuff I learn about clouds on your blog.Jala Pfaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01186623108399217523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640331618261060721.post-40455139696475701522011-01-12T00:24:20.224-05:002011-01-12T00:24:20.224-05:00Casey - glad you enjoyed the info on the sundog.

They have ruined many a good photo shoot otherwise ;).<br /><br />It's funny - I find that I'm usually not very creative when it comes to naming things. And, yesterday, that was as good as I could do for a name for the series. Today, as I finished working on this and began the third, "Impressions" rather just surfaced in my mind. It seemed more fitting, as these are really impressions of what moves me in this season.<br /><br />I'm delighted and humbled that these have now given you inspiration! May the torch continued to be passed along.Sonya Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01879889885162011649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640331618261060721.post-60921971622482227762011-01-11T20:40:11.808-05:002011-01-11T20:40:11.808-05:00Sundog - sign of change in the weather.

Love it.<br /><br />I am interested in your name change, but I can imagine your thinking as you go along. The hillside )or below it) and then winter scenes with light just so, perhaps. Very good stuff.<br /><br />I was looking at an old winter scene of mine that I actually unframed, and thinking about redoing it. These give me inspiration.Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.com
