Winter

Strawberries

Golden Sage

Burning Bush

It would appear that winter is finally here. I have been very spoiled by the prolonged 70 degree fall days! We have now had two snows in five days. Sigh. I am somewhat of a warm weather lover. The cold makes me well, grumpy. I need to be able to feel the sun on my face and warming my body. The running furnace dries out my hair, skin, throat, nose......sigh. The only plus I can see it that it is soup season! One large pot of something warming and hydrating to last the better part of the week. My kind of cooking I say! What is you favorite winter food?

New Gear

It is finally here! I am the proud owner of a Canon Rebel XS and I could not be happier about the idea of learning photography.....again! Quite a few of the photos from my senior year book are mine but that is probably the last time I took the art seriously. A point and shoot is fun but I really wanted to take it a bit further especially since I know what I am capable of! You can see that I did not have it long before fashioning a more appropriate camera strap! Now to read the manual.....
