Whether snow, sleet, hail, or rain...

Sally will go to the pond. And though this looks like a picture I would have taken on my iPhone, it was actually taken on my current working digital camera. What this photo does not show, and what I could not find a quick, easy fix for, is that at the time there was a very dramatic sky. Those little bolts you may see above the pond are blobs of sleet falling. Oh Kodak Easyshare Z740, you could have done so much better! You overexposed!

Anyway, the sky was dramatic as I was driving home, and I could tell there was some sort of precipitation falling nearby, although the sun was shining all the time. And since Vinny and Nina are done with sports for now, I was able to get home before the sun set. Two weeks from now when Standard Time kicks in, I will be lucky to see my home in daylight. The pond will freeze over, and Sally will just have to dream for a few months.

So the question now is...which do I want more? New digital camera, or iPad?

It's still a great picture. Sally looks so focused - nothing like a lab in water! Enjoy the last week of light. It will be plenty dark too soon.

I like the photo of Sally even if it doesn't show the sky because the focus is on her and the water. Pretty soon she'll be sliding across the ice as she chases sticks...

I do like the patterns of ripples and the wake as Sally swims. Just goes to show you can look at the same photo over and over and never see exactly the same thing.
