Christmas Bauble from Mother Nature


My husband bought me a "spare" camera to to keep on hand in case of the tragic event that the camera I use every day breaks. It is a very basic little camera with few features, but is 14 megapixals and does have a macro setting. It was just getting dark when I got home from work. Even so I ran outside and tried it out out on the crabapples that were wet with rain. I judge a camera by how well the macro setting works. And given that this photo was taken in very poor light and in the rain, I would say the macro setting works just fine.

  9. Thanks for the comments! Now that we proved the camera works, I tucked it away in a drawer in case of an emergany. Now if the camera I use every day decides to malfunction, I won't have feel completely lost as a wait for a week or two for a new one to arrive!

    This week has been wet and warm (well, warm for the end of December, anyway!) and I am having a hard time believing Christmas is just a few short days away. The crab apples are about as Christmas-y as nature has gotten around here so far this week!
