I usually plan at least one or two special outings for the girls when they have the week off. It’s usually something like a museum followed by some sort of treat from somewhere new to us. I couldn’t find the…
That first time I went out in the snow this winter, I had the wide angle lens on. There were birds everywhere and I couldn’t get a decent picture. Since then, I’ve been using my telephoto lens. Since then, there…
