The Lake

I took some pictures of the lake a while back, I love the way the clouds reflect in the water. Let me know what you think.

SNOW PIX

Between last night and today we have gotten upwards of 5" of snow in our little neck of the woods, so I took my camera out to Lake Johnson and had some fun. Then I took a picture or two into Photoshop to see what I could do. I think I got some interesting results.

How the liberals are right.

You know I sort of grew up thinking that Democrats had it all wrong and that they were evil. I have realized as of late that this was most likely a snap judgement. While Dems. seem to raise taxes and continually allow for the expanse of gay marriage and for abortion, there are several things that I do tend to agree with which that camp stands for.

1. Social justice. I do not necessarily feel the government should tell me where my charitable giving should go, but I am thankful for them wanting to help those who need it.

2. Environmental issues. Under the Bush administration our environmental policy and standards took a giant leap backwards. This is not about saving the pretty trees, it is about doing what is right so that resources will be available for the future. Also if you think about it if you do bad things to the environment (especially soil and water) it will more than likely effect human health (cancer HELLO!!). We humans are tied very closely to the world we live in, so even if you don't care about the environment or your fellow man you have to agree it is good to keep the environment healthy because it is the only way to keep you healthy.

Connecticut

Over the holiday season Hannah and I went to visit Hannah's 94 year old grandfather in Connecticut. These pictures were taken at sunset off oh his balcony. Who knew Connecticut was scenic!

My new camera!!!

For Christmas I got a great present, one that I have been wanting for years and finally got! It is a Nikon D5000 DSLR. This camera is amazing, if it was acceptable for men to carry purses I would take it in the case everywhere! I am hoping that in the future this blog will contain pictures taken from this camera and give my blog a new twist.
