Show Your Snaps...February 27, 2023

No sir , but I can send some your way. .

A little out of the ordinary.

This just happened a few minutes ago.

Luckily the tree fell to the north. If it had fallen to the west, as the lady in the TV commercial says, "I wouldn't be sitting here right now."

Interesting.... Was that caused by lightning?

Dig,

No.

Tornado. I'm still without power.

No heat or lights.

The Redbuds are starting to bloom. That's always a good sign.

Here's that tree that came down next to my house.

I only stand about a third that tall.

First, I miss Spring. I drove my 2003 summer car up the trail (I have winter tires on it but it hasn’t seen a road since November). It is always in the garage otherwise.

Plenty of snow this year, almost four feet on the ground. Warmer winters always mean more snow.

A few pictures from tonight.

Driving uphill.

Plenty of snow if we consider the fact that there must be at least 6 inches or packed snow on the trail itself.

Still looks new after 20 years.

We had a nice sunset recently.

I like seeing your night time pictures with all of that snow. The white balance looks good. That's great you take such good care of your automobile. Do they salt the roads where you live?

Those newer iPhones are really great for photos. These were straight from the camera although I replaced all the spots in my land with 5k ones (daylight).

Around the lake, there’s no salt on the roads but there is sand. On the local highways there’s a mix of salt and sand and on the major highways only salt.

My old car was used in winter in its first years but I was spending a fortune on hand car washes (I didn’t have a garage at the time). It’s very difficult keeping a car rust free here in Quebec after 8-9 years. I haven’t seen one Focus year/model like mine in years. I kept it as a summer car because it came with the sports package (better engine, stick shift, mags, spoiler, fog lights, etc).

Hi Dunlin,

WOW, great stuff.

Thanks.

To be honest I occasionally miss the "Canon Colours" with my Olympus camera. Not often though. I think I'll try processing these shots from RAW, to see if I get a better result.
