Unique Use of Lawn Chairs

Looking through some older photos for some inspiration & came across thisone--taken in October, I think.  Was going through Kent, CT ( someone else was driving for a change) & saw this unique sculpture (? what else would you call it?).  I liked it!

Macro Monday

Decided to post a flower (hibiscus) from Isla for my Macro Monday shot.  Less than 2 weeks to go & I'm getting excited.  Better start packing....& pray for no snow ( at least on the day we have to get out of here)!

Out in the snow

It snowed yesterday...but it took all day to get less than an inch--overnight we picked up a few more.....Usually Rafe loves to go out in the snow, but he was being contrary  & only went out to pee & then was right back at the door!

 Of course, I made him wait so I could get the camera!

 This morning--the barn in the snow

 Looking off from the cellar door

Camera Lens.......Mug!

I saw this on FB  with a link to the site that sells them...thought it was neat & I wanted one of myself!  I usually do all my own present shopping--that way I get what I want!  I'm not a jewelry person at all & that's the extent of what Alan will buy!  A great place for photographers!

Photojojo

From the Photojojo website     "Both "Nikon" and "Canon" mug models are equipped with an easy to clean, heat preserving, stainless steel lining. Also, a lens-cap lid, rubber-grip focus and zoom rings and an auto-focus switch that actually switches (To top it off, the "Nikon" mug zooms when you twist its grip."

I have looked at other items on the site & have seen things I like!

Our flock of Turkeys

Yesterday I heard the telltale clucking of turkeys outside the back door & went to investigate.  They seem to be around more more this winter than past years.  And a much larger group.  Two of them were showing off, fanning their tails.  Captured a little on  video.

Deb's new blog

Just in case you haven't seen it yet, Deb (IslaDeb or debstm ) has started a new blog, just for her trips to Mexico.  Deb's Mexico Musings
As usual, her photos are beautiful  & her words a delight to read.  Love the Isla child all in red!
Can't wait for more entries!
Hopefully the entries for the next 2 weeks will get me through til we go ......18 more days!

Macro Monday

I think these are self explanatory--Macro photography is about my favorite type to do.  It's amazing what you can capture with the right lens that your eye ( or at least my bad ones) wouldn't see otherwise!
