About this blog title

I cannot tell you how many times I have shown up at events with a couple of cameras around my neck, a gadget bag full of odds & ends and a lighting kit and have been asked that question. If it happened once every few years, that would be one thing. But it happens a LOT. It's like getting pulled over by the police and he's standing there with uniform, gun, flashing lights and asking him "Are you a cop?" I would love to come back with a witty reply, such as "No, I am Jesus. Don't you recognize my beard?" However, I cannot be that rude.

20 Below Zero Winter Morning

 

View from our kitchen window this morning. Neighbor Jim's house, 20 degrees below zero.

There has been  severe winter weather warnings all across the country the past couple of days. ere in the North Country we have had quite a bit of snow. Now we have gotten into some cold weather. Started going down below zero last evening, awoke this morning to 20 below zero. All day the sun was shining. I went out about 1-4:30 doing some errands in Watertown. No wind and pleasant, just cold. Walked 4,597 steps today. 

Warming up fast (ha, ha). 20 to eight and temp was up to minus 12.

We awoke this morning to a heavy fog here in Chaumont, NY. It had rained during the night.  The photos presented here I took with a Sony a6000 camera using the black & white setting.  By noon the fog was gone. The temperature hit 60 degrees for a while . I had 2 guitar lessons at the Copley House the afternoon.

Saturday March 12, 2022Snowy Morning


A Currier & Ives style winter scene greeted us this morning in Chaumont, NY. View from our front porch.  

Awoke this March morning to a snowy landscape outside our windows, reminiscent of a Currier & Ives print. I put in some guitar practice, shoveled some snow and made some guacamole. Near sunset we took a drive and I snapped some pix as then went down. It was a beautiful sky. Temp today stand around 25 degrees. Currently (11:30pm) it is 15.

At the end of the day I snapped this sunset at nearby Pillar Point, Town of Brownville.

Day 303:

Today is Wenesday. It is a gray day and warmer here than in recent weeks. Supposedly it will reach near 50 degrees this weekend. Probably accompanied by rai. That suits me OK for nwo because Saturday, January First, New Years Day, I am photographing a wedding in Syracuse. I would rather make that drive in rain and warmer temps than to be caught up in lake effect snow.
