<\/a><\/p>\n

The photo didn’t turn out how I wanted it to, but I’m still new at this and I haven’t found the Ansel Adams setting on this camera yet. Anyway, this is the sort of scene to expect where I live. The closest I can get to capturing frost on evergreens is raindrops on poinsettia petals.<\/p>\n

H.E. took me shopping today for a couple of camera accessories. I now have a UV filter, a circular polarizing filter, and a lens hood. I can’t wait to start 2005 with my camera in hand!<\/p>\n

I should do a year end review, but I don’t want to think about my move or about my creative director’s maternity leave. I was crazy with stress earlier this year, and I don’t want to relive it. So I’ll simply look forward to the new one.<\/p>\n

No champagne for me tonight. My last act in 2004 will be to donate to the Red Cross before going to bed at a reasonable hour, thankful for everything that I have and for the welfare of my loved ones. It seems an appropriate way to celebrate the holiday, considering.<\/p>\n

And Happy New Year! Be safe. Be well. Be happy.<\/p>\nShare this post:
