Bryan Rupp - Beautiful shots Joel, I would call them naturific! I love the soft evening light and the way that you’ve used it here.

signs of spring: winter thaw.

Bryan Rupp - Joel these are both beautiful shots…it’s incredible the way that the water is clinging onto each little pinnacle (probably not the right word…but it works eh?), especially in the bottom shot.
