Magic (For Some)

Today, I woke to a magical world covered in sparkly frost. I put on my coat and boots and grabbed my camera.  Wouldn't you know it?  There was a warning flashing that the battery was low. I managed to get three photos before it shut down on me.

I couldn't get over how pretty everything was and couldn't stop talking about it. Finally, Emma says to me, 'I don't like frost. It's just leftover cold'. Magic squasher!

    Magic for sure! Just last month I bought myself an extra battery for my camera for those kinds of situations, you should consider getting one and carry it with you when you go outside so we don't have to miss your lovely photos ;-)

    Beautiful, Kathleen.
    Is that called "hoar frost"?
    You should go to your closest Henry's camera store and check out their battery plan. It may be worth looking into!

      Thanks Jody. That's the name! I don't think we have Henry's in Quebec but I am definitely getting an extra battery. :)

    It is actually magic to me (and I know you know that eheh)
    We're having a cold wave (-5.5°C at 8am is very cold for us !) so winter's definitely here for us now !
    When I came to Canada, I had recently bought my camera, but I knew I'd be taking many photos & bought an extra battery. I have never regretted this purchase.
    Have a great week, Kathleen

      You know, of course, Julie that if you'd had your camera, the deer wouldn't have been there. :)
