End of Week

 So glad the snow is done! Well, we're expecting a dusting tonight but nothing more at least until the middle of next week. I managed to get out of the drive and braved the drive to the park on Thursday, but the roads were really slippery and icy as it was too cold for the salt to work. On the way back I slid past our road and had to turn down the next one. I decided after that just to stay home. I didn't go out today either lol. It was enough to put me off! 

Today it was really cold in the morning. I think it was about 6f/-14C in the morning. At that temperature nothing on the roads was melting. What to do what it's that cold? Freeze bubbles, of course. I'll try to share some photos over the weekend. 

The online camera club I'm in is going over aperture again this month as part of the A Year With My Camera Year 2. One of the things we're talking about is different lenses and how it's important to learn what your lens is capable of, how it works, what its 'sweet spot' is and more. I decided to pull out my little used 105mm macro lens that I like but I don't know a lot about. I decided to pull out one of my miniature Lego photographers and give it a go while I was out there.  Here's one. 

It was quite fun. I did have to keep coming indoors to warm up as it was so cold!!!

Not sure what we're doing this weekend. We'll go out somewhere. It is supposed to be sunny so we'd better make the most of it!

Photo a day - Phone Photos - Things That Make Me Smile 34/365

My MIL and FIL surprised husband with a new snowblower! Made me smile - and him too! It will make things a lot easier when he has to remove all the snow.

Smile today - me, my camera, some bubbles and a straw. Lol. Was fun. Cold, but fun!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

  2. That pic with the lego is awesome! I really respect people who can create pictures like you. It's the way of looking at the world. Skidding must have been incredibly scary. I'm terrified just thinking about it!

    1. Thanks. I had fun with the Lego. I need to do more of it.

      It was scary skidding like that. It's part of why I don't want to drive in winter!

  4. Which model is your Nikon camera, please? For some reason I thought you favoured Canon, but obviously not!

    1. Husband bought me my first camera and it was Nikon so have stuck with that.

      I have two - a full frame D750 and a cropped sensor D500. I really like both of them.
