Day 21

10 days left.

Well after getting a set of batteries charged
and
formatting the card....twice !

I managed to take a couple of pictures.
I could not get used to looking at the back panel instead of the view finder.
I know you can use it but I tried and it did not take what I thought it should :)
I was also extremely frustrated at how slow it took to focus when close up.

Went back to the icy plant from yesterday...

Not quite what I wanted to get but I like it..and considering I must of had about 3 focused ones out of 15 shots I'm not about to complain too much !!

Tried the macro again inside.
My friend Susan made me this snowman a few years ago and he always comes out for Christmas....somewhere.
This year he's back on the tree...

Not the sharpest focus but I hated it with the flash.

Days 19 and 20

Challenges for the weekend again.
I set the challenge of reflection.
I took something similar last year.
I like catching reflections in the baubles...

I was torn between two but went with this one as you can see my whole dining room and I like the lights reflected around the edge.

Sunday Patti's challenge was ice.
Oliver spotted something the other morning but it wasn't as good yesterday.
Feeling a little lost I walked around the back and spotted this...

The snow has been melting off the roof and has fallen onto my plants,just in this one place.
I love that curled up leaf inside the ice.

My camera is off having the sensor cleaned (I'm too scared to do it myself !!) so I am having to make do with my trusty old point and shoot for a couple of days.

Only thing is.....
both sets of batteries were flat
and the card is playing up !

I will get something today :)
