Irene2005's photostream  

Geese pictures must be cliche for sure because even in my stream you can find more than a few. I am not even talking about the whole Flickerverse. These are our native North Carolinian geese who, I think, will be moving to Canada soon. Just to maintain some natural balance since all Canada Geese seem to relocate permanently to North Carolina...Yes, Canada, it's payback time!

HCS, you all!

It is pouring rain right now. It is 64 degrees at 7:00 in the morning. It is nuts.

So no snow fences for me...or anything resembling a winter fence even slightly.
Still, Happy Fence Friday, everyone!

Monterey in early November...The weather could not have been more beautiful and pelicans were not the only ones enjoying it.

Sorry I haven't been around for a while...had a lot going on. But I'll try to catch up with your streams within the next couple of days.

This picture was taken on the only day I picked up my camera this year and went for a walk with it. Which is a shame, because around New Year I upgraded to D7000. Traded in my old Nikon D90 (can't believe it has been 3 years since I got it) and got a very good deal on this one (I love Adorama people...they are super nice, very fair, and never push any additional stuff on you).

It is not a dramatic upgrade, but D7000, aside from better focus and better high ISO picture quality, has a few very nice features. My favorite is a viewfinder which is a million times brighter and clearer than the one on D90. It also is "what you see is what you get" kind of viewfinder - no cropping around. Oh, and D7000 can communicate with the lensbaby!! For example, this one day when I took the camera out, I had just a lensbaby on it and shooting was fun, fun. No sudden urges to take my lensbaby off the camera and throw it into the lake. So maybe finally I'll start using it more and actually enjoy it. New Year resolution?

One of the random London street shots...I couldn't miss this red.

Still no winter. Yesterday we had a miserable rainy day, today it is back to sunny 60 degrees. The weirdness continues...
