Everything's bigger in Alaska. ;)




A photograph of a photographer photographing himself ... for scale.

He'll just quietly slip away, no big splash. :)

2. what the heck are the mittens made of!?

Sheesh, Blue, you got some goodies this week. Are you using the new lens??

Even though I hate snow I am loving this Snowzilla. Just don't tell me the actual temperatures.

I have a good friend in North Dakota- we have an agreement- I will listen to her weather woes- just don't tell me the actual temperature. She will call on occasion and shout, "I am running errands without a coat it is so warm today!". Translated means: it is above zero for a few hours.

Here we are far above average- I still have pansies blooming!

3. The big ones were with the new lens

the one with the other photographer was the 17-85. It was "warm" here today, too ... probably around 25, but it feels nice.

ed. I think I heard that the mittens might be boxing gloves. Snowzilla appeared on Countdown-Oddball last year; maybe he'll make another appearance.
