EN POINTE

"En Pointe" (11-27-15 006v2a) was just fussed out of a really old pic version of an even older pic of mine. I think it may have hung fire all this time because it's an odd size. I.e., if I ever want to have inexpensive prints made on line I'll have to put a bit of a white edging on top and bottom to bring it into the proper proportions or it'll be automatically cropped (... Ack!). (BTW, I then have the option to use my trusty paper cutter and trim off the white edges. In the case of truly square pix, though, the thick white border at top and bottom can sometimes be enhancing.) The vast majority of the time I manage to re-crop in order to accommodate those proportions. But in this case (and others) I don't want to crop any of the photo. So I'm "steting" it and am prepared to deal with giving it a slim white edge at top and bottom if I decide to have prints made. Now to this pic itself: as I've said enough times here (if I had a nickel for every time, I'd be wealthy!): I love ferns. It's been quite some time since I've taken any pix of them. Hell, taken pix of anything, actually. However, I have a tremendous photo playground in the nearly 13,000 pix on my computer. And although I miss my long walks on which I take lots of pix, I'm having a great deal of fun working on those I already have.
