The creation of the snow was such a blessing for children. I cannot emphasize enough how much I enjoy watching Matthew play in the snow. This little busy bee enjoys himself to the fullest: making snowmen, throwing snowballs, making giant snowballs, making snow angles, removing snow, cleaning cars with the broom, mowing snow (yes, just like cutting grass), and tobogganing.
It's been snowing here on and off. The last couple of days have snowed, but it is guaranteed that this snow will be gone by next week; warmer temperatures are in the forecast.
Matthew is not the only one having fun. I finally decided on one new lens but came out of the store with two, and I am a very happy camper with empty pockets. I am glad that I fixed my Canon 20D because I don't have to do a lot of lens switching. It gets heavy to carry both, but I don't mind at all. The Canon 20D has been around for a few generations, but it is still a good camera.
Since I am a Canon shooter, I decided to stick with Canon lenses. I bet you are curious and already know that one of them must be a macro lens, and it is: the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro lens. I also treated myself to a Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens. Both are excellent lenses. I have not been able to use the macro lens as I cannot find anything tiny (may be microscopic) to photograph, meaning small creatures (probably hibernating at this moment); however, this lens is great for portraits.
The photos below of Matthew were taken using a macro lens.

Mathew is big and gorgeous! The pictures are fantastic. You know, I recently acquired my first Canon (a small one to take quick pics), after I learn well how to work with it, I might upgrade to another model.
Big hug to you and your baby boy :).
Cheers
Have nice day, dear, dear Anna!
These pictures of Mathew with the white background are just fabulous. He sure looks like a little man walking along like that. A great looking guy. Just looking at all that snow gives me the shivers.
Happy trails.
but i am happy when spring will come ;)
