nature's canvas

This was taken a year or so ago. I was at the edge of a frozen pond and I noticed the bent grasses against the white background. It looked almost like a pen drawing tome, hence the title. I liked the simple lines and curves.

Michael: Well seen and very nicely captured. We've been getting a shot or two like this in Flora and they are always well received. Think about posting it there as well. >=))>

Nicely seen. I like the colors and patters created by the grass.

What's great about scenes like this, Michael, is the snow works to completely blot out any background distractions, which makes for very pleasing intimates. This one certainly works. I particularly like the trio of arching reeds near the top of the frame.
