This may be the last Christmas tree in the river post. We are gone tomorrow and will likely miss the melt. I took this photo this morning just as the sun was coming up. It was -10c so there is not to much melt. The camera, Sandie's Panasonic FZ18 which we will take with us. Au Revoir Bill

After finding this photo when checking my cameras I am now starting to get a little excited. I love to fly and as well finding this photo in my camera is a reminder for me to have my camera ready. I took this photo of Mount Baker moments after take off from Abbotsford on a flight to Montreal in September. Sandy and I are flying to France on Wednesday to visit with our daughter Ann. It is now time to pack the bags and try and decide what to take. So far I am planing to take this camera, my Sigma Dp1 and a Panasonic G1 with an extra lens. Bill

Christmas tree update, not much has changed, the weather has been cold and there is more ice. The tree is not going anywhere soon but we are. This time next week we will be on our way to France. I hear it is snowing there too. As you can see Bob is still in the picture, both of us are looking forward to better light. The camera is the Panasonic G1 which I am practising with for our up coming trip. Bill
