Or more interestingly it's amazing how quickly you get used to a carpet of white!<br /><br />Good luck playing with your camera, does it allow full manual modes? If so I would have a play around with them and see what you can produce :)Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08640322232670777125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798548726043864530.post-31298983232965794422010-02-14T15:44:47.290+00:002010-02-14T15:44:47.290+00:00Hi Jan,

It was a reminder of what I already knew.<br /><br />I forget how lovely spring can be when I'm looking out at the winter scene. Cold weather gives us an opportunity to prepare for spring.<br /><br />I located the manual for my present camera this morning. It has settings I wasn't aware. While I wait for the snow, I'll be learning more about it.Jean Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000315400392984647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798548726043864530.post-45874064736647804192010-02-12T14:08:05.078+00:002010-02-12T14:08:05.078+00:00Lovely photos Liz!
