Photos and Pumpkins

 
I haven't spent much time getting to know my new camera, but I am still amazed at the difference in photo quality that the new, better technology and a real zoom lens makes!

Not-Quite-Cured Pumpkins
 
My pumpkins did not quite ripen on the vine.  We've had heavy frosts lately which has killed the vines, so I picked most of them today.  There were a few already starting to rot in the garden.  From what I've googled, I should be able to 'cure' these ones so that they turn orange.  Regardless, if they don't get squishy, someone can make jack-o-lanterns from them even if they are green.
 
It's very cold and very wet this weekend.  I saw a few flakes of snow today.  Tomorrow, we have wood being delivered.  It's definitely time for toques and boots and hot apple toffee lattes!

Those chicken look so good! And I can almost feel the softness of those alpacas.

Wow...your photos are really great Norma! I really like the animal shots...so cute.

I manage to take descent shots outside, but...I've had trouble taking good shots inside.

Cheers

I heard about those snow flakes... none here, just drizzly rain but I know what's coming! I love the pictures, KaKocha's Nose is my favorite, great clear shot. and it does look soft!

It was a rough year for pumpkins... I'm making myself feel better about it by eating a ton of them!
