What a cruel joke!

posted Tuesday, 29 April 2008

The first thing I do every morning is let my little pups go outside. Yesterday morning I got to the sliding glass door, and let out an, “Oh Shit!” I’m sure hubby thought the sky had fallen as I’m not much of a cusser, and in a way it had. He yelled, “What?” and I yelled, “It snowed! It snowed. . .and it’s still snowing!”

:( It's Spring!

6:26 am - Of course I ran and grabbed the camera for you guys.

7:45 am - All the little birdies were out running around. My son thinks they were preparing for another winter.

:( It's Spring!

9:30 am - Update for yesterday’s Fun Monday post on trails and paths. PS - Those last three photos (up there) were taken with the fisheye on the 5D body and it has a full frame sensor unlike our other cameras. So it looks really funky, doesn’t it?! I just felt the need to see the difference.

11:30 am - JoZe’s angel has a halo.

11:30 am - Cute duck is carrying quite a load. I think he’s saying, “Spring is here!” while all the other birds are migrating back south again.

Mother Nature likes teeter-totters. Saturday 30s, Sunday low 50s, Monday 30s. . .We had huge honking flakes flying until the afternoon and got a few inches. The ground was white when I went to sleep. Today we’re supposed to get back up to the 50s.

I'm sure you didn't want more snow but it has made for some more beautiful photos~ I love the funky one I can see you will be having a lot of fun producing some unusual shots!

oh, I am so sorry. But it did make for some pretty "last of the winter" photos. The fisheye makes for some really awesome shots. I've been looking at one for awhile hummm...

WOW... it's just so hard to imagine that you're still experiencing winter's dying attempts to hang on. Terrific pictures and the fisheyes are quite interesting! Stay warm! I'm glad to be where I'm at and expecting a sunny 80ish day!

Thanks for stopping by and BTW, I also thought of an umbrella on the backlit leaf photo, I just couldn't think of a line or two to use for that. You should try the 15 Words or Less though. Really forces you to focus!

That fat birdy picture is darling! And the bridge pic and curvy trees pic were beautiful. Thanks for sharing with all of us (I don't mind seeing lovely pictures of snow, as long as they are not from my neighborhood in April!)

I Love the fish eye..but I think I love the bike more.. the bike is super cool..and then I like the angel and her little hat...

It got cold last night.. 35ish..but we didn't get any snow. We're in the same boat.. 35 last night, 70 for tomorrow..Mother Nature needs to make up her mind if we can have snow or not.

Cruel, cruel, cruel. I helped a customer this week who is just out of the Marines, and he's packing up his family, and moving them to Oskosh. His California born wife is not too happy. I told Bob, the guy was tall dark and handsome, and she was short dumpy and round, maybe, he's hoping she'll stay in California. I hope I'm wrong.

I think that snow came just for your camera! I especially like the bike and the duck, though they are all outstanding.

First let me say that in 10 years of college, I earned 5 two year degrees. Of course that doesn't sound any better than the 10 yrs thing. hahaha

Anyway, love that fish eye thing. Is it a filter?

Catching up on blogs so only time for one comment. I read through your other posts and loved your "walk" post. Such pretty pictures.

I know what you are going through. It has almost all melted here now and it has been really nice the last couple of days. It is raining now, and is suppose to cool off enough to possible snow again. I hope it doesn't get too cold, my plants are all out in the sun room under plastic. I do have a heater under the tables they are sitting on, so hopefully they will be warm enough.

It's almost June for Pete's Sake!! I would definetly be a little more than just miffed at Mother Nature. But she did provide you with some beautiful photos!!

Not that I am bragging, but I had my own little ice cubes yesterday! The kids attempted to go swimming in the pool. They jumped out like they were on rewind. Poor things. I told them it would be freezing.

I loved your C post! Too bad about the snow, but at least you got some beautiful photos out of it. I'm sure you could find the beauty in anything with your fab photographic talent. I really like the fish eye photos! Very cool. I also love the photos from your favorite walk.

What an awesome series of photos ... especially since it's been in the mid-80s here in Southern California for the last couple of weeks. Hugs and blessings,

I recognize the Chipping Sparrow ( I think) The birds sure frenzy feed when it snows. Our friends up in the lower mountain elevation got 3 inches the other morning. I could see it up there. I sure hope the sun doesn't come out and burn us all up now.
