smog crystals
So we have the worst air in the country, and it won’t clear out until, hopefully, a storm later in the week comes to our rescue.
There was so much fog this morning I thought about turning around and calling Mekare’s school and telling them that no one should be driving in that crap, but it let up as soon as I got away from the wal- mart shopping center area. The smog there was almost a charcoal color. And on the way back, I braved getting out of the car without a gas mask on to take some pictures of the lovely crystals that form on everything near the lake, especially on smoggy days.
I’m waiting rather impatiently for my new fisheye lens with detachable super macro to get here. Then I can have REAL fin with ice crystals and snowflakes…

It looks to me as though you’re having quite good fun as it is – with those crystals and snowflakes. Beautiful stuff.
I can’t help but feel you’d be able to sell some prints if you categorized your collection of shots – people, places (including landscapes) and things. Sub-categories even: winter – spring – summer – fall, for example.
Just my thoughts. You have some wonderful work to show and sell – I would think you could get a local gallery to display your stuff – maybe even print your stuff for a (higher)commission on sales, so you don’t have to bear the expense up front. And you are a much better landscape/macro/closeup photographer than anything else. Sell and show those.

With my deafness, visual is as much of a stimulation and music is for the hearing. Whenever I get to view your pictures it’s an orchestra of visual poetry that dances in my view. Thank you for this treasured glimpse of life. (Hugs)Indigo

Wow! I was thinking the same thing as Iceel – it looks like great work already even without the anticipated lens!
