Here's some pictures I made with a couple of my toy cars yesterday. I collect matchbox and miniature cars and trucks...


A Sunday drive in a matchbox size motor home!! :D

Thank you Susie!! I had fun shooting those pictures.

I have a Hagrid figurine and I'm thinking about making a picture of him, just as soon as I figure out something interesting. :)

We had an ice storm in Indiana yesterday! It basically paralyzed the city. Our power went out for a few hours, and the ice knocked down the phone lines for over a day! It was beautiful though. The ice coated everything - trees, roofs, cars, bushes.. everything.

Today Chris, Alex and I drove over to Dad's house and I decided to take some pictures. He has many more trees in his yard than I do. But today the temperature reached 40 F, so the ice was beginning to melt, and you can see the melting in this first picture.

A fast shutter speed allowed me to "freeze" a couple drops of water as they were falling....

Mode: Shutter Priority
Aperture: f/4.1
Shutter Speed: 1/500
Flash: Off






Warm weather in Indiana caused some of the trees to bud early, then the ice storm nipped them. Here's a bud on a small tree encased in ice....





The ice is nearly melted off the branches of this small tree. Yesterday many of the trees had a quarter to a half inch of ice on them.....





A set of tiny icicles forming under the grill....





Icicles forming under the upstairs balcony railing....





Baby it's cold outside!!!

I bought this raccoon for my Mom when I was about 15 years old. After she died, Dad put the raccoon out in the garage in a box. While out there, some water from the ceiling dripped on him and left a few rust stains. He's back in the house now! I thought I would allow him to pose for a picture with the icicles!
