Making waves...

Decided to start the year off with a walk, and took the camera along, just in case... It was 71F when I left the house; about 45 minutes later a very strong wind came across the lake and withing fifteen minutes, the temps had dropped by 20 degrees. We're supposed to get into the 20's tonight. I liked what the wind was doing to the lake surface, especially along the shore, and so I tried to capture what I was seeing.

Nice capture. If you guys get rain along with that 20 degrees everyone may be getting some extra days off due to icy roads.

20 degree- we don't even get that here in Summer for most days

Interesting perspective. Do you feel it captured what you were seeing?

Thanks! As it is, there was no precipitation, so extremely cold (got to 19F with windchill of -1F) but fortunately no ice on the roads.

Thanks! Yep, North Texas gets some pretty dramatic temperature changes at this time of year. Short sleeves in the morning, and a parka in the evening. One of these days, I need to find a place where I can get a good shot of a "Blue Norther" coming across the plains; it's a very impressive sight.

Thanks! Yes, the bubbles in the wavelets and the ripple across the top of the water, like it's being sand blasted. I should have done a video, because the sound of the wind coming across the water and the wavelets rolling was pretty neat.
