Change of Season

I have my new camera, Lumix FZ 40.  I have done a fair bit of reading and am now trying to master this beast.

Winter has arrived with a good covering of snow, ice on the lake and the hydro bill double what it was last month.  However, today the sun shone, the sky was brilliant blue and the temperature soared to a balmy 7 degrees.  The perfect day to take a walk and try my new camera.

PERSPECTIVE

The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered "Man.  Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.  Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.  And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived."

Now when people ask me, why are you doing that, I answer; because I can, and it makes me happy.
