Snow Photos From January 28, 2026

 

Yesterday I awoke to 10 degrees below zero and sunshine. It was very pretty but I was too lazy to bother going out early to take the wonderful winter pictures I know were out there, away from home. But the sun didn't last long. It clouded up and we got more snow. Quite a lot. I ended up shoveling a great deal again. The Better Half had a 2:00 doctor appointment in Watertown. Her original appointment was for Monday but the snow was so bad she rescheduled it for yesterday. But that didn't help. The driving was somewhat dicy. At times poor visability because of wind and heavy snowfall. But we made it. I walked 7,455 steps. Anyhow, here are some photos from around our yard in Chaumont, NY.

Alan's Apples Caught My Eye -Photos

I snapped these apple photos at my brother Alan's house in Calcium NY.  I stopped by his place after getting new hot water heater into the basement at daughter S ' Franklin St apartment. Al had a career in the radio and entertainment business which inspired me to give him the moniker my "Celebrity Brother."

Anyhow, he is living in the house that we grew up in having inherited it from our mother, Margaret Walts. I'm sure my father planted the apple tree many many years ago. The weeds photo is the house across the road from Al's.

These photos were taken with a Sony a6600 camera and a Minolta 200mm f2.8 lens. I was using the toy camera setting for all the photos except the one with 2 apples. Actually 3 apples if you look closely.

Yesterday we put up some Halloween decorations at our home in Chaumont, NY, mostly on the front porch. It was a really nice day for it, over 60 degrees, sunny.
