<\/p>\n

Another from our short visit to Saco Heath last Sunday. We always called this trailing pine<\/em>, but a look to Google identifies it as Ground Pine, a clubmoss, and a member of the fern family. It has a long horizontal growth below ground, and sends up these vertical branches every 6 to 12 inches. Here a single vertical is isolated against the snow.<\/p>\n

I have put the B&W version first today, but this is another case where I am not certain which one I like best. The B&W is processed in Lightroom, using the B&W Look 3 filter.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The B&W emphasizes, of course, form. The color plays on contrast. I like them both, but in this case I lean toward the color version. Color processed in Lightroom for intensity and clarity.<\/p>\n

Canon SX20IS at about 400mm equivalent, f5.0 @ 1\/200th @ ISO 200. Snow Mode.<\/p>\n
