photo day- say what Phil?


No disrespect to Punxsutawney Phil and I may be spitting hairs here but do we get six more weeks of winter if we we really haven't had any winter yet? I think we've used our wood stove for heat for about seven days the whole season, that does not a winter make!



I haven't gotten to spend a lot of time with my camera but the past few days it has been flirting with 70 degrees  and above  so I went out and took a few shots. Here's the moon today thru a budding tree; yes you heard me right! I have a tree that's budding on February 2nd!...amazing.

I was pretty pleased to get this one of the moon but much closer up, just look at those craters. I'm so darn happy that this camera can focus in that close. What a step up from my last camera! I still have a ton of trouble holding the camera steady, but then I was never gonna be a brain surgeon anyway! 


And if you had any darn question about how crazy warm the weather is here in Virginia here's the proof of all proofs. This daffodil is one of many blooming in my front garden today, and Mr bug crawling on its pretty yellow leaf. 

I don't know Phil things are looking rather Spring-ish here! Next time pictures of the snow storm, I probably just jinxed the whole Commonwealth with this post!
