Day 19

Thursday, January 19, 2017

The first photo is Toots on Wednesday making snowmen.  She still has some to do on the second one.  Note the hair on the tall one! Less than 24 hours later… Such is the life of snow people. ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 18

Wednesday, January 18, 2017

As I arrived back at the house after taking the photos of the deer, I saw the UPS truck going around the corner down the street.  My new 12mm F2.0 Rokinon lens was here at last!  I got it for Christmas from the Dailylife Wife, but it turns out Adorama sent one in the wrong mount. […]

Day 17

Wednesday, January 18, 2017

I was down by the River today after dropping Toots at home after her school got out, and while there wasn’t much in the way of waterfowl, I did find this herd of deer on the new industrial spur, a couple hundred feet north of the railroad crossing signals. This is a three photo panorama, […]

Day 12!

Thursday, January 12, 2017

After all the cold weather, I decided to try: Science! Boiling water thrown in the air a -9F.  Compliments of the Dailylife Wife! A soap bubble frozen. Another view…I couldn’t get anymore to land, and I wasn’t standing outside in my bathrobe any longer. And by far the most interesting one, the one that popped…after […]

Day 11

Wednesday, January 11, 2017

It is a clear, sunny day today!  And this photo is from last week…at -19F this morning, I doubt there is this much open water down on the River… ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>
