I finally have a wide angle lens.🙌🏻 Looking forward to being able to have more choices when capturing views.

Camera lens Fujinon 15-45mm

Can’t help but share sunrises when they are this good looking.

The firebird must have been released from its cage this morning as cotton candy colors intensely saturated the clouds. Its passing was short but I was glad to witnesss and enjoy it.

I think I’ll join the cat under there where it’s warm and dark.

Monday’s glorious snows are melting tonight. Everything a patchwork of ice and bare patches. The only ones happy are drivers along the roads.

My lovely wife doesn’t want my reading list to be empty.

The ugliest photo of a most beautiful sunset. The colors in the sky were so intensely blue and pink that the camera sensor couldn’t cope with them all. The disgusting HDR outlined trees, the loss of textures, the dark foreground… sometimes the camera you have with you isn’t up to the task.

So happy to have more bird friends stopping by to take advantage of the winter berries behind our house. It makes the winter less bleak to have them fluttering about.

Continuing the tradition of making snow friends to check in on us from the window.

The kid’s school has been cancelled for a second day due to single-digit temperatures. Walking out to get our mail quickly had me agreeing with their decision.

Our local birds (apparently, starlings) made the most of the sun with today’s single-digit temperatures.

We really miss being able to directly feed our local birds so it’s exciting to see that our trees are up to the task. A group of house finches came by the window while I was admiring the snow.

As much as I love the snow, I’m glad I only have a cat. 😸
