Merry Christmas!

Hey hey, a two-parter, Mark-style!  As I type this, I'm in much warmer locales, and I'm staring at a palm tree that's covered in sunshine rather than snow.  Nothing too strange for me, as I don't think I've ever woken up to a snowy Christmas morning.

I am not in California, however, which is weird for me.  That photo was taken in Hawaii, and the weather here is like Norfolk in May, which is to say ridiculously warm and humid for a cold December morning...  This is probably the second or third time I did not wake up in my parents' house.  My parents have found a taste for travelling during the Christmas season, which feels distinctly less-Christmas-y.  It's still nice, just different I suppose.  And I certainly can't complain about the free trip my parents give me (especially since my first paycheck isn't due for 7 months or so).  Besides, I think my parents are on to something - we do all end up spending more time together on vacation than when we are in our own home...

Sorry for the lackluster photos.  I'm actually thinking of switching back to my trusty powershot s230, as I don't think this s70 is quite cutting it...  The noise is ridiculous, the macro is seriously lacking and the meter isn't as accurate as I would like.  Grr.  Maybe I should ebay the camera and just go for an SLR.  *gulp*

Anyways, Merry Christmas everyone!

seriously... although I don't think I'd go for that one. I'm pretty convinced my minolta-chassis quantaray lens is crap, so there's no reason to stay loyal to minolta, esp considering the cost of the body...
