It's 58 degrees at 8:15 pm on January 28th in Chicago,

AND
Last week at this time it was zero degrees.

(I received the Nikon D800 for Christmas, I'm a little disapointed in
the moire I'm seeing in some of my pictures. I thought that would
only happen with the D800E any suggestions?)

Snow Day

We finally broke the record here in the Chicago area.
We had gone a total of 335 days with less then 1"
of measurable snow.
 Still not enough to make the snow man she was hoping for though.

I went wedding dress shopping with my niece today. One of the
bridal shops had signs all over saying NO PICTURES.
ummmm OK.  I figured no dress, no bride, no harm.
