Wolf-oties

It has been an 'interesting' winter of wolves here. [Haliburton Echo piece on wolves]. One morning we had one come right up on our front yard - all the way to the stairs to our deck

Motion Augmented print media

http://ow.ly/1p3op An interesting look at a direction in 'print' media and the implications to photogs (well, except for the strange ending - huh what's that?)

A New Lens

This is the first lens update that has seemed worthwile. I've studiously avoided updating either my 17-35F2.8 or the 28-70F2.8 but this one got me. This is primarily because of the  flourite element which really seems to make a difference in other lenses I've had in terms of contrast.

Spa Marvel

OK - Well, yesterday I refilled the hot tub with fresh water. Today I added Spa Marvel. Now only time will tell if it works as claimed. It would sure be nice to get away from bromine if only because it is really scary stuff.

Our Visiting Owl

This fellow has been arriving each fall and spring for at least 5 years now. Staking out a spot just by our deck he watches for dinner.

This year two ravens are trying to suggest that he moves on but he just stares at them. Actually, he is so confident of his spot he seems practically tame
