Fifteen-Years Ago Today. Rainbow over Maui. (20-Dec-2009, Hawaii).

Trolls Out Celebrating the Winter Solstice.

I set up a camera looking out the backdoor window to take images for a time-lapse video of the snow accumulating on a set of Trolls. The prediction was for 2 inches. By morning there was between 4 and 6 inches of accumulation. The snow was light and fluffy. I didn’t need to start up the snow blower to clear a path to the driveway. I just used a battery powered leaf blower.

Trolls Out Celebrating the Winter Solstice. Images taken with a Hasselblad X2d camera and 55 mm f/2.5 lens (ISO 1600, f/16, 64 sec exposure). One image every 10 minutes.

Apple-Cranberry Crisp

I had some Cranberries and Apples remaining from the last Fairgrown Farm CSA delivery. I used them to make a Crisp using a recipe modified from making an Apple-Pomegranate Crisp.
