The big tractor did a kick-*** job on the snow. Maybe not as clean looking as the snow-thrower, but I now have 10 foot+ tall snow piles in the yard for the kids to play on.

 
Interesting camera work. You got the outside and the screen pretty much in focus. What was the f-stop?
Screw you. :lol:
Actually, was meant as a serious question. That kind of depth of field usually requires a really small aperture, which usually means a lot of light. There didn't seem to be that much ambient light. Maybe the new digitals have more flexibility. At any rate, nice pictures. ;)

I apologize. I naturally just assumed you were teasing as my shots are not very good. I have a little Sony point and shoot.

My brother was an excellent landscape photographer with several coffee table books out...until he found he could not support his family after several decades of doing that. If you're ever in Wheaton, I'll show you his books.

 
Wheatie.

Four words.

SUCK IT UP!
FOUR words?

Suck it up BUTTERCUP :p
Well, Mary Ellen, Wheaton and I use secret pet names.

But, "Buttercup" is close.

...Well, not really.

At least he's got the testicular fortitude to

come west this summer. ...Just an observation.

Dropped down below 60 last night. Have had a couple of warm days after several days being quite chilly, and the coldest January in decades.

Glad I'm not back home in Oklahoma, though, where the family's from! Saw that OK City nearly broke the February record for snowfall yesterday. On the 1st!!!

I feel your pain wfooshee, twas so cold yesterday here in Phoenix I didn't want to go street riding. So I headed out to the Kelvin-Florence Highway to ride dirt instead. Winter Sucks!

Even had to wear my heaviest sweatshirt and I kept my Belstaff Tour Master jacket in the top box, just in case. Even had to wear my Hondaline winter gloves! Winter Really Sucks!

Hi George, What ever happened to the warm, sweet and endearing Mark that we all used to know and love here on our FJR Forum? (OM really loves Wheatie!)

This snow situation seems to be turning wheatonFJR into a disturbed and twisted individual, sort of like The Manatee Molester-RadioHowie! Winter Does Suck!

Sweet pics, I wish I could see that much of my property. Getting tired of moving snow at work then again at home.

AZ looks real fine about now.
