Brian, that's stunning! Great colour!
Here's one I took last winter - kneeling on the cold sidewalk with my Crown Graphic.

I've been trying for years to capture the luminescent effect of machair after rain. The salt-tolerant grasses are often tinged blue-green, and the shell-sand they grow in acts like bright white underpainting. A long sopping day of light rain makes the true machair and the backlands shimmer, even in a very dull overcast light.
Capturing it on film is an exercise in frustration, and wetness.

I find all kinds of pretty grasses deep in my film.
Often, they surprise me when I’m dust spotting. Like this one.
Be careful – it’s a jungle down there.
