The sugar maples at the Arb have finally turned into gold. It's going to be windy and cold tonight so this could be about the last we'll see of the leaves for the year. Oh, well. Time to get ready for cross country skiing and snow shoeing soon!
Hey blog fans! Out today with Momma for a stroll. The buds are poppin! St. Patricks day and 80 degrees today. Yow! Great corn beef and cabbage dinner and now a little b-ball, NCAA.
Hey all! Third straight day of 70+ weather and more to come next week. Pulled out my cheapo macro lens that had been gathering dust for a number of years. This lens is 100mm (150mm on my d7000) and I shot this at f/10. I always knew it was pretty sharp and I am still imressed. I think I paid about 80 bucks for it 10 years ago. Phoenix is the brand. Any way, I am off to Glen Ellyn tomorrow and then Shanghai on Sunday morning. They don't let you view blogs in China but you can post to your blog through email which is what I'll try to do. Thanks for looking!
Well, we'll do just about anything to get excited about spring and we're excited to see any kind of color pushing through in the fields. On day two I went to check out the flowering tree on the horseshoe trail and the flowers are coming right along!
Well, if this isn't spring I don't know what is. An earlier post had a picture of this tree with just buds. I'm not sure what kind of tree it is but today the buds opened. 75 degrees today. Crazy. March 14 in Pennsylvania! We should be preparing for a nor'easter! Another new lens today. I know, that's it for a while. It's a 50mm Nikkor 1.8 (75mm on my DSLR) and boy is it sharp. So enough of those manual lenses for me. I'm done being a luddite.
