Ice in April
iPhone photography: Ice melting on the lake in April
Ice in April. As you can see, it hasn’t melted much since March, when the ice on the lake inspired me to make this painting and for all my efforts, I still can’t coax the printer into making a good print of Breaking Ice. In stead, it prints horrible washed out and pale, faded prints. I think it simply just won’t cooperate with the latest operating system, since everything was working fine before I upgraded. Isn’t it frustrating when dealing with technology is like walking in sand?! Two steps forward, and one step back. At least I got this dreamy, serendipitous iPhone photo out of the process.

I think the print-out is lovely, Kate…it has its own charm. :o) It’s funny how that goes sometimes though, when it doesn’t quite go to how we envisioned it. Hope you get the right print yet. VERY dreamy ice photo at top though… Dare I say, we have SUN today…yes, real honest-to-goodness sun! We were sitting out having tea… the crocus are blooming… BLISS! Happy Weekend, my friend ((HUGS))
Hello Kate!
I love that first picture! The composition, the colors, the subject, it all comes together so well! The wildness is tempered by the small hints of civilization – the bridge abutments glimpsed through the branches on the left, the spire on the right. And the cloud forms echoing the ice floes below, genius! Very nice! I hope things are well with you, and have a great weekend!
I am in love with the first picture! It is so simple, yet so darn beautiful :)
Tracy, Joe and Megs, thanks so much for your support and kindness! I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. Now, on to another week of taming the printer!
that photo has such a distinct mood to it. I STILL can’t believe you take your photos with an iphone. And yea, I often feel that way when dealing with technology, especially html etc..when it comes to dealing with my blog. Wanna write a “casual bloggers guide to personalizing your blog”? I’ll buy it!
Yeah… it’s hard to believe that it’s 2010 and it still takes a degree in coding to be able to blog in style!
You mean technology can feel NOT like walking through sand!!!??? LOL
