Sorry for the sporadic posting, this year's Nutcracker which I do sound and lighting for has been an absolute train wreck. Tonight's opening so the worst is hopefully over.

"The show must go on!"

Finally catching up on the last few days with a mix of actual days and safeties. Feast or famine, as usual.

Well, I found out one thing these last two days. That 55-300mm is sharper at 300mm than any other zoom 300mm I own, so the others are going to be sold. And it doesn't hunt at 300mm either. I wasn't standing that far away from the rose and it found focus fairly quickly. It's a keeper! For $165, that's a good deal for a WR lens, wouldn't you say ?

At that price for the performance, a very good deal!

I've caught up for posting and commenting through yesterday. The pleasant nature of 55/1.4 makes it easy to get a shot, especially since I'm allowing myself to embrace Bokehcember. ;-)

Work just kills me dead during the week. I'm "just a secretary", but I swear I ought to be out of breath and sweating by the end of every day. With 6 attorneys and 2 paralegals, my desk is intense! When I get home it's almost all I can do to sit and stare at the wall. :-) Maybe it will calm down a little with the holidays pending...

Anyway, I'm happy to be here! ^_^

I regret leaving the house without my camera, what I thought would be a quick errand took me to several places around the county,, and I was out after dark when one can make the mundane look a bit more intriguing. Now it's cold, and dark, and I'm curled up with a warm mug of Gluehwein and not interested in going outside again. I guess I'll have to break out some props.

My friend, Wildred5273, in Virginia called me, he's at work and he said he was sitting at work watching it snow. He's waiting for his boss to tell him to lock up and go home as he's only had four customers since 7am.

I feel for him. In my part of the state, the drivers do not do well in snow, so I try and stay home on days like today, and tomorrow as well.

And unless I find something in the house today, I'm not getting one for day 11 either. It's 49 degrees outside here and I don't have a winter coat or gloves. Forget it. 49 degrees in Florida is too dang cold for me, especially when you live close to the water.

It was warmer today but......I spent the whole day putting my new desktop together, and getting my laser printer up and running on WiFi. Installed all needed programs, changed color schemes in Windows 7. Got battery backup with everything connected no problem. Still have to install Epson scanner yet. Tomorrow maybe. I'm tired tonight.

And today is my birthday so I have family coming and don't have a clue when, so don't know when I'm going to be able to get to the docks like I wanted to today. Low tide is around 11am, and I need to be down at the docks about that time, and knowing my sisters, that's when they'll show up. LOL
