The one time their weather forecast was right it snowed... I tell ya, it's not right!! It's rather cold outside this morning (-6oC and it supposed to "warm up" to -1oC) so here I am surrounding myself with lots of color to forget the misery of approaching winter.. Hope you guys enjoy it as well ;D Happy Monday!!

This was taken with a 50mm f/1.8 lens which was reverse mounted into a homemade Pringles can extension tube.

Last week I managed to raise SD$417. My parents and I are donating half the money to WWT (Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust) and the other half to ACRES (Animal Concerns Research and Education Society).

To find out more about these two amazing charities go to:

www.acres.org.sg/

www.wwt.org.uk/

The money going to WWT will be in support of the Spoon Billed Sandpiper breeding programme. It's an extremely endangered species, and it needs our help!

Taken with Canon 100mm macro lens.

It is all very beautiful and magical here - a quality which cannot be described. You have to live it and breathe it, let the sun bake into you. The skies and the lands are so enormous, and the detail so precise and exquisite that wherever you are you are isolated into a glowing world between the macro and the micro, where everything is sidewise under you and over you, and the clocks stopped long ago.

Ansel Adams, from A Letter to Alfred Stieglitz from Abiquiu, New Mexico., September 21, 1937

Oh I really enjoy taking photos again, but it takes a lot of energy.

So enjoy the few I made today!
