Peanuts for the Squirrels

What an interesting 72 hours.

 

1) We have this squirrel that has been around all year and it's missing it's tail.  Obviously, something was chasing it.

 

I decided it was finally time to get a shot of this critter, so I decided to put out some nuts for it to chew on right outside of my patio windows.

 

2) The squirrel never showed up.  It started snowing and the temps dropped. So all you get in this interesting shot taken with my Nikon D200 and the 105VRf2.8 lens.

 

3) Our family room computer is several years old running XP and is running at a crawl space.  Time to upgrade.

 

So we went out and purchased an iMac to replace the old Windows machine.

 

I can't imagine why I didn't do this years ago.  I have only found 1 thing I miss about my old computer. 

 

4) I am switching jobs (my choice :) ) and since I have to return my old computer to them, and I  need a computer for future work, I decided to get (or have my new boss get) a Macbook instead of a Windows PC.

 

So the reason I haven't been around for quite a bit, is I have pictures stacked up that need to be uploaded, but am waiting for Photoshop for Mac so I can convert them from Raw and upload them. 

 

I've also been spending a lot of time trying to learn the MAC keyboard and programs.

 

This is the only picture I have done on the mac, using Capture NX for the MAC.

 

So now you know what I have been up to for 72 hours.

You have been missed. You really have your work cut out for you. It's hard to do everything that needs to be done because tabbloing is so much more fun!

Maybe when you have things up and running you'll post a photo of the squirrel eating peanuts, or the mystery critter biting the squirrel's tail. Good luck on new job.
