White Christmas Dreams Do Come True!
photo © Kat Caverly 2008
We had the whitest of Christmases and the snow was magical. You could actually see individual SNOWFLAKES in the drifts!
The image above is a micro photograph of a miniature ornament on a live baby pine tree. The tree was naturally flocked by our second snowstorm 2 days later. Again there was the magic of a snow light enough that you could see individual snowflakes with the naked eye. That made last minute Christmas shopping even merrier and bright!
We decorated the BIG TREE on Christmas Eve. Unwrapping each of the ornaments in my collection is like opening endless presents. It takes about 4 man-hours, or maybe a bit longer. I take the opportunity t really look at and feel each of my prizes. And this year we spent a day lighting and doing a beauty photo of this tree.
I never thought about how hard it is to photograph a Christmas Tree and capture its personality and how it looks to the mind's eye, how the tree feels to my heart as much as it looks to my eyes.
Next, how do we capture the start of a new year?
