You’re right about a lot of things conspiring to leave a person feeling gray. The weather has been an increasingly tough thing to cope with. Every year it take longer to acclimate and during that process the grayness comes. Thankfully, I’m past it and am comfortable with the cold. Snow may be a different matter but so far not much.

Hope you get some sun and relief from the cold as well in North Georgia.

Never too late to comment. I get notifications anytime someone does. Often get comments on very old posts.

I’ve been trying to catch up reading your posts but not commenting since I’m always so late, but this one still seemed timely, unfortunately. It is spectacularly cold here in North Georgia, but at least it is sunny. I hope you get some sun as well.

I made the image black and white for effect. No real advantages technically that amount to anything.

If it’s digital is there any benefit to B/W such as less digital noise in low light? Just wondering…

In Pennsylvania I think ticks are year round now.

I guess not liking coffee is paying off for me. Woot!

I have much for which to be grateful. That’s for sure.

I normally don’t see many ticks. But that day — wow. Hopefully it was just an unfortunate meeting of body and insects. It’s been cold now as well. Perhaps the ticks are on the run.

Yeah, eventually it gets depressing. Like it getting dark at 5pm.

You really don’t pose much. More often you’re performing!

I’ll have to slow down a bit and give you a chance to relax in the picture making process. That way you won’t feel shortchanged!

Chemicals… I’m still taking them. My stomach is grumbling at antibiotics. If it weren’t so late now I’d have another cup of tea. It doesn’t keep me awake but I’m too tired now to make it. I guess I could ask Kim…..

The battle of the bulge isn’t raging at the moment. I’ve gained the high ground. At least for now.

But Alaska is so far away. And don’t they have flies?? Flea collars around the ankles. Hmmmmm….
