I never go out the door without my camera. No matter where I'm going - to go grocery shopping, to the library, even just around the corner to the convenience store. The camera is always with me. . . .

Today started out sunny and quickly clouded over. Not that I was upset about that - I much prefer to take pictures in more diffuse light than in bright sunlight. In any case, here are the shots that worked . . .

We got some minor snow in the past week, but I haven't had a chance to go photograph it in my favorite spots because I was working the whole time. I was off today and I figured I'd better get . . .

I went down to Big Pond today to see if I could find that Snapper again, but still no luck. But I got a lot of other interesting shots there, as well as on the Cliff Walk a little later.

I had another outing with the Raynox telephoto lens today. You know what? I think I'm getting the hang of this thing! Even though it was a bright, sunny day, I still got great, detailed shots with . . .

I went on a good, long hike Tuesday, which shows you how tired I was, since it's two days later and I'm only just getting around to posting the shots and photo essay. This time I'm not doing . . .
