And the rocks melt wi’ the sun

This morning we got plenty of sunshine, but during afternoon clouds once again covered the sky. But while it was sunny I went for a walk with the children, who played with melting snow and ice.

(Posting title is from the poem A Red, Red Rose by Robert Burns.)

Both "Ice" and "Leaf" are wonderful, perfectly placed in the square and the colors subtle and just as I would expect them. Makes me for a moment ponder my self-imposed "raw only" policy.

@Markus: Well, both of these were taken in a sequence of half a dozen photographs of the subject, the best one being selected for posting. And the jpeg engine of the LX5 works often rather well.

One benefit - and I'm not trying to convert anyone here - of shooting jpeg with the same settings all the time is instinctive feeling of how the result will look like. No need for thinking when you are taking a photograph...

And a drawback of jpeg shooting is that many photographs that would have been possible to make via RAW just don't happen - one will be blind to this kind of opporturnities.
