Linda's Message for March

Prez Message for March:
I just got a note from Jim saying that my message for March’s newsletter is due. He’s right; February just sneaked out the door and March has entered so quietly that I didn’t realize the difference. We all enjoyed taking snow pictures, well at least some of us did, but now we are hoping to find the first crocus or tulip popping out of the ground or new growth on trees and plants. Suppose that will happen this month? It would be great to get a picture of the first one seen since that always seems to be the most beautiful one in our minds. I have seen pictures of the early robins although I haven’t seen any out here at my home yet. I think at this point I would settle for a nice photo of anything that hints of green grass and warmer temperatures.

Linda's Message for February

We are still in the midst of winter, but at the same time spring isn’t far off. If you are like I am spring and its beautiful flowers with the return of migrating birds can’t come soon enough. However, I do consider this time of melting show a challenge for finding some great shots. They are there; it is just more of an adventure to locate them.

Linda's Message for January

As I am sitting here safe and warm in my home during the blizzard I keep thinking of all the photo opportunities I am missing. Pristine snow is always beautiful to take pictures of and I figure that by the time we get plowed out it won’t be very pristine any more. I’d take a picture of Buddy out in the snow but he is so fast on his out-and- back (yes, he can still be speedy when it is his idea) that I would have to have a very fast shutter speed which wouldn’t be too good in these low light conditions. How high of an ISO could I safely use? Maybe tomorrow I will attempt to find out.

Linda's Message for December

Ahh, ‘tis the holiday season again. Can you smell the turkey roasting and the scent of pumpkin and pecan as pies are set out to cool? What a busy time it is for all of us! Capture those memories with your camera. Time passes so quickly; capture it and relive the best times over and over. Our December Holiday Banquet will soon be here. The date is Tuesday, December 15th, at 6:30 PM.

Linda's Message for November

Another month has already breezed by. October seemed to disappear right before my eyes. Maybe that was because it wasn’t a normal October. Because of the cooler temperatures and abundant precipitation, I didn’t get out as much as I normally would to enjoy the autumn colors. Now when I go out I notice that many of the beautiful leaves are on the ground and not decorating the trees they have adorned all year. It makes the task of locating possibilities for pictures even more fun; the pictures aren’t quite as visible but with a bit of work there are still many out there just waiting to be discovered.
