Two solid days of rain and this is what happens!
This has really been a fun weekend, sit and watch it rain. I’m glad it finally quit, but it was a little more than my backyard fence could handle. Saturated ground and high winds are not a good mix.
Mom’s dog Bell is back at home after a short visit with Polly and Mom seems to be in great spirits now that she’s back!
I hope everyone has a good week this week.
And I hope that maybe something good will come from Obama screwing around and giving our children’s children’s money away. My 2 cents worth is for letting these giant companies go bankrupt if they can’t handle their business activities in a manner to make money. Maybe they just got so big that they forgot the business of business. If things continue the way things are going our government will own them all anyway and who’s going to win in that situation?
What about all the little companies that are toughing it out and doing everything they can just to keep their heads above water. Who’s helping them? No one, because they are proud enough not to go begging at the White House for a hand out.
We, the People, fought and worked to make this country a pinnacle for freedom and success, one that the whole world looked to for inspiration. We inspired people of third world countries and left them with the hope that they too could forge a nation such as ours and gave them dreams of a better world.
People tend to be shy of using words like Socialism but with our government continually buying in to large banks and insurance companies, guess where we’re headed. I didn’t vote for that and I don’t know anyone who did. Large corporations had nothing to do with winning our freedom, and just where in the Constitution does it say that we should lay down our lives for the likes of AIG? As far as that goes, just what has AIG done for me lately? I don’t even know who that is.
We had to fight to win our freedom over 200 years ago and now we’re just giving it away to GM, Chrysler, Citi-Corp, and who ever else that jumps on the bandwagon.
It’s We, the People. Not we , the super corporation.
Hi everyone! I've spent most of the day taking some pictures of glass and uploading them to my site. I'm still experimenting with light and using a macro lense but they looked pretty good, I thought. I was using a Sigma 105/F2.8 macro, and I love it!
No snow to speak of today but it still looks like it could at any time!
Will try to have some more pix tomorrow!
I think we’re supposed to get up to 8 degrees today

This is beginning to get a little old…
Is it about time for Spring?
I'm keeping the Crossfire out of the snow. I shot this using the Canon G9 with the preferred color picker. Not much to report on today, shoveled the walk, had some Hennessy, and then dinner with Kimmy at the Good Table.
Well, it did it again. These are pix taken yesterday. We had a high of 9 below today and it's supposed to hit 20 below tonight. I'm just glad tomorrow is friday and the weekend is almost here.
Well, snow again today and again tonight. Then the temp is dropping to the below zero numbers.
I took this one from the car as I was turning into the drive. It looks like we've got 6-8 inches on the ground but it 's the light stuff so it blows around a lot.
It's getting a little old. It would be nice to get back into the 60's or 70's for a while, but I guess that's still 2 or 3 months away.
The SAL 70-300 G SSL lense is doing everything I expected and the lense moves very quick and is so quiet you can't hear it focusing. I'm still getting familiar with the DSLR A900 but what I've seen so far is this is really a great camera. I'll try to get some more pix in as the week goes by.
