Pretty much every day is a snow day over here, but this was our best of 2021 thus far. It happened on a weekend, so we met our next-door neighbors—in our “bubble”!—outside in the morning to shovel and play. It was awesome. The snow was so deep at that point that cars had stopped trying to go down our unplowed street, which made things really fun and different. (And fun and different: Exactly what we needed!)

Later that day, just as the sun was setting, we also took a little family walk. It was hard work, especially for Lucy. 😉 But she did it!

Anyway, I got a new lens recently—just be aware that it only works on the Canon EOS R mirrorless cameras!—and this was my first time taking it for a spin. I bought it mostly to help with interiors, but I’m in LOVE with its performance outdoors, too. The sharpness is insanity and it performs amazingly well in low-light situations.

Sorry for the zillion photos; I couldn’t stop snapping! 🙈 But photography has been bringing me a lot of joy lately, and I’m so grateful for the hobby right now. <3
