The Sun

Brrrrr...oh well.

I don't care anymore. Let it snow let it snow let it snow...let me freeze. The good news though, is that when I finally get used to it, the weather will finally warm up and try to spoil me again. Keeping my fingers crossed, as the next snow is predicted for tomorrow.

Woods After a Snowstorm

Taken at ISO 400, with my 50mm f1.8 lens and post processed. I know, I have posted similar shots before. I keep trying to get it right. Each time I post it I think this is the one, but soon after, when I look at it, I feel it still isn't quite what I've been trying for. So obviously I think I've got it now, but in a few days I might feel differently.
This time I've got plenty of patches of sunshine which I think really livens it up. After working on the brightness, contrast, etc., I thought it was fine, but already there was something wrong. So before posting it now, I "warmed it up" (bad choice of words considering the subject?) and I think that was just what it needed.

None Shall Pass

Monday, on my way home from bringing two of my sons home, the road I was traveling on got blocked when a camper in someone's yard burned. A man was brought to the hospital. Not sure how he is now.
I had driven by there 30 - 40 minutes before that. It is four houses down from a home that was destroyed by fire just before Christmas.
I couldn't get any closer at the time, but could see it the following day. The camper is completely destroyed. Maybe I'll get brave and stop for a photo one of these days.

UPDATE: East Bridgewater man in good condition after camper fire - Brockton, MA - The Enterprise

Photo from the news article, taken and submitted by a neighbor.

"Lizzie Borden took an axe and gave her mother forty whacks..."

"When she saw what she had done, she gave her father forty-one".
A group of us went on a tour of the Lizzie Borden House. It was very interesting.
Go here to see more photos on my facebook. Enjoy.

My first OMP post of the year.

Snow!

From a previous snowstorm, not the more recent one. I knew we were going to get a lot of snow this winter and it's looking like I might be right...unfortunately.

Amazon Associates

Trying out the Amazon Associates program. Check out the books page I've recently added. I will be adding other items and more books eventually.

I am just SO handsome, it's unbelievable! This is a photo my friend Debbie took with my camera while on one of our walks. I was climbing over a fallen tree at the time.
Debbie is below, climbing over the fallen tree as well....oh ok, we were both posing on the fallen tree.

My 2011+ Bloggage

2010 FLEW by! Not sure if that's good or bad. lol. But anyway, I want to wish everyone a safe and Happy New Year!

For 2011, I'll possibly be setting up a new photo blog that will not "expire" at the end of the year. Remember, this one started out as a Project 365, my second one, so its URL contains "365-2010"; my previous years' Project 365 also has "365" in the URL. They were kind of doomed to be one-year blogs.

I set up a WordPress blog about a year ago, intending at first for it to be my 2010 P-365, but decided to continue using Blogger, and I think I'll do that again, at least for the time being.  WordPress is really good, from what I've seen, but why fix what isn't broke? And I really like Blogger.

I'm not sure when I'll have the new one ready but I will definitely post the link in here when it is. Shouldn't be long at all. I'll stop posting photos in this one after December 31.

I am not sure if I will continue to link it to my Facebook notes. I was leaning towards not doing so but I still haven't decided.

Again, Happy 2011!
