More Frozen Moments
I’ve always enjoyed taking photographs. But the freedom afforded me by my digital Canon PowerShot S2 IS, brings me great joy. I love being able to snap away, trying different angles and settings. The Wednesday into Thursday storm this past week provided me with ample opportunities to play - and play I did!

will the lilac bloom come spring do you think?
ReplyDeleteHi Lee,
ReplyDeleteYou photographs resonate and bring me joy. I've mentioned before that, at times, I miss the Northeast of my upbringing. especially this time of the year (I don't know why).
Additionally, I believe it's less about the camera and more about the eye of the photographer.
Peace,

Hi Morgan -
ReplyDeleteYes absolutely. While the severity of the last ice storm was very unusual, this sort of ice/sleet/snow combo is pretty common. As long as the twigs or branches aren't broken, all will be well.

Hi George -
Thank you so much for your generous words!
I know you've been having your fair share of snow in New Mexico, but I'm happy to share a little of our northeastern winters with you.

Hi B2B -
ReplyDeleteThe Canon PowerShot S2 IS, (which we bought at the end of 2005) is not a wildly deluxe, all the bells, whistles and lenses kind of camera. But I love it and have yet to begin to tap all of it's potential.
Yes, the word verification is occasionally startling and often amusing!
