Have fun with the new camera, sure will be seeing more of its work.
Doesn't the D7000 do video too?
Sure does - HD video too, and I've got the appropriate SD card to get the best quality too. But I've not played with that yet, plus I need to get an external hard drive to put all my pics on as they're currently chewing up some huge amount of space on Macca!
Well, guess we'll have to wait for more next year. Got somewhere safe to park the groomer?
Yeah Groomer is safe at home for the summer. And you don't have to wait as there's more - kind of like that "But wait there's more" except you don't have to call in the next 15 minutes, just read below
Last night we had lots of rain and then a few thunderstorms - they're totally awesome up here! The sound moving back up through the valleys is something you really have to experience!
So this was Ruby Scoo riding it out last night:
My "back yard" this morning:
Ruby Scoo and Mt Higginbotham, side of anyway:
Last year we had lots of this that were more awesome than what you see here:
Couldn't go without a Ruby Scoo close up:
^ Left the snow tyres at home to preserve them for later, now on my roadies
And a little more excitement than someone bargained for:
The general consensus is that the trailer saved him. Since the close of season the town's speed limit has been lifted from 40km/h to 60km/h. I reckon this guy didn't have his chains with him which as far as I know is still a requirement at this time of year. Poor bugger.
Tow truck is there now working out how to get him on all fours and level again.
Exciting this alpine weather! Throws all sorts at you at all times of the year, including summer - just that a lot of the general population doesn't realise that it can snow at any time of the year.
That's all for now.
Cheers
