Bluffton photographer Dennis Morrison provides Icon viewers with an interesting series of photos that are more difficult to take than you might at first think.
Last fall he photographed scenes at the Bluffton University college cabin and Riley Creek along Bixel Road.
Then, following the recent heavy snowfall, he repeated his photography.
The result is an interesting collection of two scenes - one from fall and the other from winter.

The Icon “lost and found” classified ad posted on the evening of Feb. 3 read: FOUND: A little boy lost one of his favorite toys at a Bluffton home basketball game. I did not get a name of his mom. But I did finally find it. She can contact me at: [email protected] - Thanks, Daryl Shields.
Sounds like an almost hopeless loss.
Then, 12 hours later, on Feb. 4 this email arrives at the Icon:
Even so, we predict this post will explode on the internet. It's a "selfie" of former Bluffton natives Kristen Lugibihl, Ashley Luginbuhl, Ben Luginbuhl and Ben's wife, Alex Roth.
Since Ben has a zillion Facebook friends, this photo has already landed in practically every Buffton Facebook follower's page anyway. In our way of thinking that puts it in the Public Domain.
A couple "older experienced Buckeye fans" Marcia Gallant and Brenda Byers attended the OSU National Championship celebration at OSU stadium Saturday Jan. 24.
They left Bluffton at 6 a.m. with a bag full of winter clothing and enjoyed the band, the team and thousands of other Buckeye crazies as the National Championship trophy and other awards were shared with the crowd.
How many photos of the frost did you take this morning? The event was technically a "hoar frost." Here's one explanation:
"Under clear frosty nights in winter soft ice crystals might form on vegetation or any object that has been chilled below freezing point by radiation cooling. This deposit of ice crystals is known as hoar frost and may sometimes be so thick that it might look like snow."
As you probably found out, the beauty doesn't last long, especially when the sun comes out.
