Kris, great shots. I think the first and last are my favourites. Sorry you have continuous cloud cover (CCC), but it has to change. So far our winter has been fairly mild - daytime temps about 2-5°C with nighttime temps around -5 to -10°C. All the snow we got back in the early part of the month is almost gone, so everything is brown and dreary - some cloud and sun, but, mainly a mixture as the days will now get longer.

Have a great Christmas!

Nice set Kris. This weather just sucks for shooting but at least the snow is staying away "knock on wood"

Yuppers, love #3. Silky smooooove.

George looks like he has been in a tuft. Yes on #3.

 

[PropilotBW]

I, too, like #3. Nice set!

Sun ? Wasn't that the big bright thing that used to come up in the morning and fade away late afternoon ? Sounds familiar but it's been so long I can't be sure.

On another note glad to see George is back, always nice to see him

Merry Christmas to you as well! Not sure if you will be getting your Sigma in time for your trip.. Rumors: Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sport lens delayed due to manufacturing defects | Photo Rumors

Well, both, lol. I was laying in 1/2" of wet mucky sand.. It was about 30 degrees out too...

knock on wood for sure. The days are getting longer! spring must be right around the corner

I'm not sure, I have some vague recollection of something like that..

Actually someone told me today is the shortest day of the year, so it's all uphill from here, or is that downhill, I always get that one wrong, I just know it has to get better cause it can't get worse

Kris, thanks for the reference on the possible problems with the Sigma 150-600. I checked it out and it says that the problems are only with Nikon mount lenses (so far). Lets hope that the Canon mounts are okay.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Kris, I was checking out some Sigma sites and they say that this rumour is not true - Sigma Rumors | Art Lenses, dp Quattro Cameras, and More and that Adorama has verified this.

You can also check the discussion here: Short News on the Sigma 150-600mm Pair . Still looks like I may have a relatively long wait for this one. Oh well, I waited almost 6 months for my 1D X from Canon.
