This is a photo of a farm down the street from where I live. I've been looking at this tree out there on the edge of the pond for a few days and thought it would make a great photo. OK, so my photo isn't so great. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to get my camera to see what my eye is seeing! I think I'm needing a wide angle lens for this, but I don't have one...YET!

Snowmen

Today was such a nice, warm day, Jacob and I decided to go outside and play in the snow. A friend of our family, Byron, (who is from Texas and has NEVER built a snowman before), came over and tried his hand at rolling up his first snowman. Well, snow woman, actually. We all had a blast. Jacob and I climbed up the hill a few times and slid down while Byron did some snowshoeing. Ralph, (wimp) stayed inside and walked on the treadmill. I took some great photos with my new camera, but don't know how to download them! I'll need to figure it out ASAP and edit this post.

Foxes in the Field

One day last week, my Mom, my Aunt and I were visiting in our living room, and my Aunt was looking out the window and saw two foxes. They seem to have made themselves a home in the side of the hill on the edge of our field. I've been watching them and trying to get a good picture, but since they are so far away, and my camera lense is only so big, this was the best I could do. You can click on the photos to make them larger, but the quality isn't perfect. I bought a lense doubler today, so next time they are out, I'll see if I can do better. I tried going out and walking a little closer, but they got frightened and ran away. These shots were taken out my window - just don't tell Ralph I had the window open!

Bangor City Forest

I decided to go for a walk today in our City Forest/Bog Walk. The board walk is closed for the the winter, but people and pets can walk the plowed roads and enjoy being outside any time of year. I stopped by today thinking I would get some great bird shots - WRONG! Usually I see TONS of birds and wildlife on my forest walks. I guess not in the winter! I only saw two little chickadees (who, by the way, were very cute). One was even kind enough to let me take his picture, although he just couldn't stand still!
