It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. The storm forecast during the last five days is here now; I'm off from work, the Interstate over the divide has been closed all day, and the roads are beginning to ice up around here now. On the other hand I received precious time to help clean up and take care of errands before everyone arrives on Thursday, and I had a chance to try out a new 10mp SLR digital camera (this is picture #1) before really putting it to work during the Holidays. After looking at my brother's photo site, I decided that I had some catching up to do to reach his level of photography. I'll add the link to that site in this blog.
