Snow

There is snow in the sky and on the ground. These clouds are over the high, snow-capped mountain. The clouds over it might have been the clouds that dumped all of that snow. I don't know have much is up there but I think that there are at least 2 feet of snow. The elevation must be about 12,000- 14,000 feet so that much snow is not that uncommon.

Leaf

This dead leaf is resting in a bed of soft (not really) snow. I focused mostly of the ice particles but I also had just a little on the leaf.

Sunset Mountains

Although this is no multi red, yellow, and orange colors this still is a sunset. The sun, clouds, and mountains or the new colors of the sunset.

Flood Slopes

These are no ski slopes, they are probably flood slopes for when the snow melts. There is no gondola if you want to walk up it, you will find your perfect ski slope that's all to yourself.

Spring Melt

Spring in colder and snowier places always have a time when the ice melts and the ground starts to show. The beautiful rocks are peaking out of the once ice ground.

Ice Pancakes

The ice pancakes in the bottom right of the picture are pretty but not so tasty. Hi, would you like an ice-cake? No, thanks. After all this talk about pancakes and ice, I didn't even talk about the ice around the rocks.

Spring Flower

The spring flowers in Colorado are out and are showing themselves. I cut the left side open which is what you see sticking out.

Pine Trees

Pine Trees are evergreen trees, this means they are evergreen or green all year round. This is why even in 3 inches of snow they are green.

Splat

On the edges of this frozen lake, the ice had melted. I picked up some soft ice and threw it at the lake. The ice burst into thousands of different tiny ice pieces.

Melting Snow

The river has melted the snow above it. The warmer water has made this cool little cliff. What amazing things water can make.

Down Slope

You can see for miles and miles from these mountains. From the top I saw at least 50 mountain peaks and could probably see for 10 miles, it was so beautiful.

Under Bridge

Most people see the top side of a bridge, there is also a bottom side to it. The overhead sun provided for a direct shadow underneath it.

Spring Snow

Spring is the time of year that the snow is melting and the rivers are flowing, this is exactly what is happening here. The snow is in the precess of melting and the river is flowing. I went back later in the day and that piece of ice was gone.

Ice Mountains

This picture is of ice that has been frozen in different colors of white and clear. How they were formed, I have no idea. I believe it is from the waves and the time that the wave freezes.

Broken Glass

In between the rocks is the frozen water, ice. In the hotter temperatures the ice started to crack and also because I stepped on it, but didn't fall in. This gave it a broken glass look.

Ice Take-Over

The points on front are rolling over everything and will destroy everything in it's path. The rocks under it stand no chance and about to be made into a fine dust.

Icy River

It's finally winter at TMann Photography! I visited an icy river and the river was flowing but some of the ice was still there. Prepare from some amazing river photos.

White Spring

One last spring photo, also from my grandfather. The best part is because he was close to the flower and the focus is so sharp.

Dandy Dandelion 

Before I get to the snow and winter photos, I'd like to share two more spring photos. The positioning of the dandelion between the other flowers is perfect. This photo is from my grandfather.

Colored Leaves

It feels like fall and the plants sure feel it too. They are already turning into different shades of colors. I am going to colder weather and hope to post something about snow and the cold soon. Keep checking everyday to find out when!

Tree Wall

The wall is being overgrown with vines! The in-focus leaf is all the colors of fall, red, green, and yellow. But it's only spring and not even summer

Green Tree

After a quick retouch, this photo became a masterpiece. The warm temperatures brought out the flowers and let them bloom freely.

Spring has Sprung

The bright color of spring is in full swing. The colors are vibrant and fill the world with joyous colors. The dark tree nut is contrasted by the leafy tree.

Clear and Crisp

All of the flowers have bloomed. These purple tree flowers are small but will soon cover the tree in a purple coating of flowers.

Sprouting

In early spring, the flowers are blooming. Like the other yellow flower picture, this one also has yellow flowered pictures. These are the alive ones, the other one I put there.

Tree House

The first half of the picture is a tree garden. The second half is the house. The garden consists of a giant tree the several different types of shrubs and greenery.

Peeking Out

The insanely hot winter made the flowers to bloom earlier. This one has fully bloomed and was the perfect item to capture as we are heading into spring.

Concluding 

At the end of the game, the University of Texas at Arlington said thank you to the crowd. All in a line they sang their fight song then said their good-byes, concluding the win over Arkansas State.

The Commandments

Thanks, Claudia H. for this! The 10 Commandments are a quite big deal in the Jewish community. They rule them and all Jews follow them.

I'm Open!

Neal again is in the picture! This time he is passing the ball. I managed to capture the perfect shot right as he passed it and before 20 something received it.

Shoot

Surprisingly Neal is in the picture again! He must have played most of the game because I seemed to have multiple pictures of him.

Guns Up

Before the game, Neal, wanted to show his muscles. He put his guns up and there they are. You have big muscles Neal!

Blocked

Arkansas State is going up for the shot. UTA's number 4 is trying to block him. After a few seconds, UTA wins and forces number 3 to pass, then his teammate took a shot.

Going Up for the Lay-Up 

Number 5 is going up for the lay-up. He is being blocked by the defender. Will he score or will he not? He didn't, but UTA got the rebound and then scored a three-pointer.

Driving Up

Starting now, you will see a bunch of pictures from my visit to watch the University of Texas at Arlington's men's basketball game. I was able to be on the baseline and take amazing close-up shots. Thanks, Mrs. Ellman!

Down the Seats

Thanks to Allie Z., we can see this amazing view of a row in Temple. The chairs curve that provided for a beautiful shot, which Allie did perfectly. Great shot Allie!

Run Left, Break Right

Number 1, Neal, was running to the left then dashed right to the basket. I believe he made it, I don't have proof because I didn't photograph the shooting part, whoops.

Candle Up

The candles provided me perfect photographic opportunities. For every single angle, I took multiple pictures and I thought this was the best on of them.

Little Torahs' to Big Torahs'

Someone left the books in the back of the room. I focused on the books and left the rest of the chapel to do it's work.

Wax

The intertwined wax strips provided the light for the evening. The burnt candle shot off a great white light then was put out.

Out the Stage

On the stage, I set up my camera facing outward. The Jewish Torah cover, is on the bottom the the seats are out all waiting for you to say something.

High Up Lights

The lights are floating! No, they are just hanging by cables shining down on the audience below. The little windows up very high are also cool light features.

Colored Glass

As the sun shines through this glass, the colors also carry through with it. Purple, Blue, and Orange streaks are scattered throughout the ground.

Glass Trees

In front of a giant glass window, there are several trees. The trees are real but the glass behind it isn't. This glass is reflecting the other trees which is even cooler.

Holy

In the choir loft at the temple, I had a birds-eye view of everything. All the seats lined up and the lights hanging from the sky. It sure was a very gorgeous view from out there.

Up & Up

Like the company Up & Up this fountain also went up and up. I was very pretty to watch. I would like a nice slo-mo of this, that would be awesome.

Cloudy Sunset

On a fast drive, I took a blurry sunset shot. The colors look beautiful, the trees not so much. Look at the difference between the top and bottom of the screen.

Slick Surfaces

Icy rocks are not easy to walk on. Luckily, I didn't fall into the pool. I had a few slips, but I didn't take an ice bath.

Blue Berry

These fake blueberries were just 'hanging around.' I didn't know what these 'blueberries' were, so I played it smart and didn't eat them.

Tree Sunset

The sunset was great behind this tree. The clouds are the only party crashers. The sunset isn't the best too.
