Well, fall is winding down, and the pre Holiday season is ramping up. The signs are everywhere: this morning was the first frost, for instance. But what really amps me up about the pre holiday season.



Yes, that's correct. Candy Cane Joe Joes.



And they allowed me to fart around with the camera some more. I was playing with the digital macro feature. The first pic is evidence of that. The lighting wasn't great so I went black and white, hoping to trick of all you into thinking I was the next Ansel Adams. Then I realized I could muck around with exposure and other settings. That is shown in the last pic. Not bad.

Back to the pre-holiday season, I only have one gripe. Yes, just one. Yesterday, November 6th, 2007, I was walking through the Burlington Mall and I saw Santa. YES, Santa, at the mall. Wow, soooo early. Even worse? There was a line to see him. YUCK!
