RE: Merry Christmas!
The new camera is a Canon Rebel T7, whatever that means. It came with two lenses, which is cool, but I have to remember which one is for what kind of shooting, and I don't have a lens that can do macro shots yet, which is what I really want to do.
I'm sure glad we didn't get a foot of water! As it is, our drain field flooded and the toilet wouldn't flush for a couple of days. We needed the water, but not all at once!
I'm sorry hubby is fed up with the snow already. It's only the beginning of winter...We haven't had any yet, which is okay by me. I miss you guys too. Give the girls hugs from me, and tell the big one that Goldie is settling in nicely, even though she and Bluey aren't hanging out together.
For macro shots, you can get (inexpensively) a "macro tube" which is just a little screw-on extension for your regular lens which will make a world of difference. It will set you back about $20, I would expect - though a macro lens might not be much more.
We seem to get the snow at the front and back end of the season - not as much in the middle, which seems strange to me, but I'm getting used to it.
It's snowing right now which pleases hubby to no end, lol. 1-3 inches expected overnight - so an officially "White Christmas" now!
Bigger girl says: "That's sad..." (but then,she says that about a lot of things.)
When are you going to hang out on Discord again? Maybe it would help you through some of the seasonal blahs...
I will have to look into the macro tube, or just price an actual lens.
Apparently the Farmer's Almanac says the PNW is going to have a very wet winter, which is good in some ways. Our water table, for one. I'm always much happier when the temperature stays above 40. I wouldn't mind a smidgen of snow, but not the long cold stretches.
Give everybody hugs for me! I will find my way back to Discord one of these days. My phone is having a bad battery attitude and keeps randomly shutting itself off, so the chat thing gets really difficult. I guess it's time for a new phone...
We're having quite a wet winter so far - very snowy compared to recent years. That's contrary to what the meteorologists predicted for Wyoming, lol.
Yeah, when it gets too cold to snow, it's simply too cold!
I hope you get your new phone soon then. I just got one that was a bargain on ebay, but it needed a lot of techy work to get it usable! I don't completely get along with it, and definitely it's camera is nowhere as good as yours.
Is it possible to just get a new battery for your phone?
Another picture today to remind you that it's not always rainy and gloomy!
