That Canon Rebel XT is really surprising me - tickled!<BR/><BR/>fuzzbox - oh, honey - you're a ray of sunshine!<BR/><BR/>meg - we'll get a snow every other year or so, more often we get ice storms, meg, usually at least one serious stay home for a couple days ice storm every few years, and probably every 5 or 6 years, we'll have enough accumulated snow to build snowmen. All I know is tonight is our second fire in the fireplace this week - it's would have been the third, but I wasn't in that room enough to build one last night!<BR/><BR/>barbara - Yeah, it's easy to take for granted - when you see tons of macro, it's easy to forget the micro - I'm pleased with my little camera, to say the least.

I have a very narrow comfort zone. Something like 70 deg F to 80 deg F.<BR/><BR/>And those are neat snowflake photos. But are you sure they're snowflakes?

Oh, but I just thought of something - if you get snowed in, you still have to take the dog out for a pooping... brrrrrr! Well, I could fight through that, so long as I had enough firewood! <BR/><BR/>You know, most of the techno stuff involves brilliant keyboardists, so it's not entirely sterile, musically speaking. Oh, and I loved New Order and Joy Division, and they used lots of tecno stuff. Yeah, Tears for Fears was good. Loved "Mad World" and I loved that guy's remake of that song in DOnnie Darko - brilliant.<BR/><BR/>hollyb - Yeah, maybe so - we've just got to come up with a catchy name for it. Check's in the mail, babe!<BR/><BR/>turboslut - golly - thanks so much! I had fun taking them. I'm hopeful to do better next time. I grabbed a velvet jacket and ran out in the back with the camera and took a picture of the velvet draped over my left hand and used the auto focus feature. They turned out even better than I thought they would. If you click on the image, you can see even more detail. Isn't it amazing how some of them look like they were popped out of a little mold? <BR/><BR/>attila the mom - Thanks! They were fun to do, and I hope to do some more. GOing to the store soon to buy a piece of denser velvet so the snowflakes show up even more. The thing about velvet is because of the raw ends of the threads, the velvet absorbs light rather than reflecting it, which will make whatever is on it stand out in more relief. Coolness! Glad to see you again - my computer died this summer and I lost all my old links in my favorites settings, and I just found you last night.

Le...I love the snow too, all the rainy bad weather. Learned to love that stuff as a kid in England and Missouri. Wish it would blizzard here every once and a while. I'll be playin' in front of the fire place this weekend. Use your own judgment on the bad-hair-day 80s techno pop drivel. To each their own baby.<BR/><BR/>Actually, I'm a huge hypocrite. There was some of that stuff that I loved. Pet shop Boys, Tears For Fears (The Seeds of Love just killed me. Not a bad song on that one). Huge. A guilty pleasure. I hate the idea that they're just pushing buttons on a keyboard instead of really playing the drums. Eh. But they laid the groundwork for folks like Coldplay, so there you go.FHBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04261425729050948728noreply@blogger.com
