No Filters Needed

There is no doubt the weather this afternoon really tanked out. A thick glaze of ice on roads and sidewalks and everything else made productive functioning challenging. Cars and trucks were going off the road, jack-knifing, rolling, and who knows what else. And, many drivers drove faster than was safe for conditions. That’s the way it was here in Northeast Iowa today and there was nothing we could do about it.

Being one who finds “weather” to make for photogenic compositions, I did look around a bit before I had to respond to an accident. Whether it was distant trees in snow, an old barn in snow, or white-barked trees in snow, the scenes were pretty. I hope you saw something pretty too. If not, I hope you at least stayed safe.

By the way, I have a “Spatter” filter in my photo editing software. When Mother Nature provides snowflakes, there is no need for me to use the spatter filter.
