As I walked Piney Woods Church Road this morning, in the wake of the ice storm (which continued through the night, turning to snow toward the end), I took quite a few photographs of ice festooning pines and other trees and shrubs. The ice was already melting, covering my camera and me with water droplets. The drops also fell into a pothole along the road, forming overlapping circles on the water’s surface. If I had been asked two months ago if I would ever photograph a pothole as art, I would have laughed. Of course, since then I have taken numerous photographs of Piney Woods Church Road ruts and drainage gullies…. There is beauty and wonder everywhere.
