The above title is a quote by
Lao Tsu. I think it was appropriate to introduce my new Canon EOS 7D that way. The journey began about a month ago, when, with a bit of Internet research and one trip to a local store, I ended up with a
Canon EOS 7D in my hands. It took me a week to actually take the first pictures, as I read the manual first. Okay, I was also a little paranoid about starting to work with this slightly more expensive equipment. The 7D is a bit more advanced, and I've been playing more with manual adjustments this time. I definitely missed a few good photo shoot opportunities as I am a little too slow switching between settings. However, opportunities will always be around; therefore, this time I will be trying to concentrate more on the quality and not the quantity.

The spring has not fully arrived yet. We have shiny days—great days for photography—but it's still cold and windy. The last couple of days temperatures were much warmer, but not enough for the grass to get green yet. The nights are still cold; let's say we got freezing rain last night. Rain is in the forecast for the rest of the week. However, a lot of birds arrived here, and they are getting a little pinch of the cold weather. Maybe it is good that we don't have green leaves yet, as it is always easier to find birds on the 'naked' trees.
And now about the photo. I took this photo a couple of days ago on our trip to the playground with Matthew and my husband. I think you may have figured out by now that I really enjoy the earthy, brownish colours of all seasons. I couldn't get a good close-up of the little chickadee, but I really enjoyed the layout I am now sharing with you.
Lastly, I cannot believe that in a month, Matthew will be three years old. Be prepared to see one lengthy post in a few weeks: my annual Happy Birthday letter to Matthew, a year full of explorations. Of course, it will be filled with photographs of my little star.
