I've been staying at my mother's house for a while, after
having gotten pneumonia after the flu (doing much better
now). Yesterday we had some sort of solid-phase precipitation
event -- freezing rain, "wintery mix", something that left
branches ice-encrusted, though by the time I was looking at
it, what was falling out of the sky had reverted to plain
liquid and what I was looking at was starting to melt.
I grabbed coat, camera, and shoes, and went out to take
some photos in the back yard. When I came back in, Mom
asked what I was taking pictures of.
I explained that I was taking pictures of the ice, and she
asked, "Why?"
"Mom, as a photographer, if nature does something pretty,
I want to claim credit for it. That's why I was photographing
ice."
I don't think she understood what I meant until I uploaded
the photos to my laptop and showed her a close-up of ice on
an evergreen. I didn't get anything spectacular, but I did
at least manage to reach pretty.
Then she complained that my macro shot of a pomegranate
seed looked like "somebody's liver".
