Yes, I haven’t been posting much lately. 
I have been busy at one level and lazy at a different level. I have been shut-in most of the time due to all the snow and no vehicle that I can drive in it.

Got a new lens for my camera, the Canon 28-135mm f3.5 IS. With image stabalization, I feel like I might be able to start taking better pictures. My shaking hands had made me rather frustrated taking pictures. Here is a picture that I took last week. Only getting it up today since I wanted to take it to the dark room for some exposure tweaks and to eliminate a bit of vignetting that the lens seems to have.
I have been thinking about a couple Sunday’s ago sermon, one aspect of it anyway. When we believe that we in fact are aliens and strangers in this world, we need to act accordingly.
