cold

I wanted to catch the frost on the bedroom window, with the car behind.

I will leave to your imagination the gnashing of teeth and rending of garments over the new camera's auto-focus, which patently refused to focus on the frost (even when set on macro), and over its manual focus which seems to be entirely totally utterly worthless....

I got out the old camera, whose manual focus is actually on the lens (unlike the new one's joystick -- "joy" *humbug!*). Its battery was empty. I plugged it into the charger and did other things.

The frost was still on the window just now, so we tried again, and Old Faithful came through for Mama.


I can't decide which of these should come first........






The temperature is currently 6F. Which is cold, but we've had worse. The thing that makes it bitter outside today is the wind. Windchill of 15F below zero. Brrr.

So glad to live here and now and be warm and comfy.

I like them both!!! With the car in focus and ice crystals. We are only supposed to be in the single digits by tomorrow.....more cold is coming your way I think.

I can enjoy these cold clear days -- when I can be inside! If I have to be out in the wind and the cold, I'm not so appreciative.

I love winter, from inside. :-)
