While Lynnae was fishing...

...unsuccessfully this time, I was playing with my camera and looking for interesting images at a kind of ugly lake (Portal Forebay is basically a holding pond for the hydroelectric system).  I took some rather mundane pictures but had fun with them in the post-processing.

I thought this old log looked cool in black and white

This was one of the largest bunches of snow plants I have seen and thought it really brought out their color by taking the color out of the rest of the picture

Sharpening up the detail on the stick and softening the surrounding water made this a bit more interesting

An example of how Lightroom can enhance the creative process: I started with this picture of plants under water...

... but a little post-processing made it a completely different photo!
