Benches in the snow

I like to think of March as the march toward spring. It may not look like it from the photos but we are making progress, the snow was covering the seats.

Green and growing

I read an article once that I have to say I agree with.  The writer said that the built-in camera flash that comes with the DSLR camera should be removed and thrown in the trash so that you are not tempted to use it.  I used an on camera flash for this shot at 1/4 power.  I think there are times when a little light is needed and the on camera flash can be used, but most of the time it just mucks up the photo.

The cat knows she will get my attention if she sits in front of the monitor and blocks my view, if that doesn’t work she goes to my other desk and starts knocking the files off of it one at a time.  She really hates having her picture taken so I decided that the best way to get her off my desk was to get the camera out.  I got three shots before she ran.

Happy ground hogs day.  It is possible that we will see our shadows which means we will survive the winter . . that isn’t how it works but you know what I mean.  I look forward to being able to photograph something outside that isn’t white instead of shooting my cat.
