I've completed a new set showing my favorite pictures from this winter.

I've included a sequence of four images from Donner Summit that I found particularly interesting, not only for the images themselves but also for the way nature created them.

                        This shows an amazing ice formation used for four of the shots in this set.  These were taken at Donner Summit, California, the day after a warmish storm. Rain had fallen on top of the snow and frozen into a fascinating layer of ice, which remained behind while the snow melted underneath it.
To show this, here I have put my fingers under the ice but on top of the snow (this thin layer of ice is floating an inch or two above the snow below it).

For the these shots, a friend suggested I use the macro on her Digital Rebel and use the lens cap as a background instead of my fingers.

The depth of field was impossible, or course, but the rainbow effects were particularly satisfying.
