I’ve been testing the Polaroid SX-70 lately and decided to set up a still life to see how the camera would capture it. I put the camera on a try-pod and used a timer that I bought for it. I think it came out pretty good.

Polaroid Sunset
The sunset was beautiful this evening. I decided to capture it with the Polaroid SX-70. I think it looks retro and very cool.
Snow!
A snowstorm kind of snuck up on us. We couldn’t believe it was actually going to happen because yesterday it was 67°. But we woke up this morning and it was snowing like crazy. We decided to get out and walk around the neighborhood to see the snow. I shot a little video of our walk. In the end we got 7 inches of snow. Schools were closed today and they have already cancelled school tomorrow for lots of systems in the area. Check out the video:
Bird Count
It’s time to start the bird count again. Last year wasn’t the best. I only photographed 36 birds. That is up from the last two years but still not the best. So today was a warm cloudy day but I was able to get out and get the count started. I photographed 6 birds on this first day. Here are the ones I saw:
#6 Song Sparrow
#5 Mourning Dove
#4 American Robin
#3 Northern Mockingbird
#2 Northern Cardinal
#1 Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
New Year’s Eve
Earlier this week I picked up my husband from the airport. He was returning for spending Christmas with his family. He came home in time to have New Year’s Eve with me. We had a delicious dinner of filet mignon and sautéed potatoes. And of course we had lots of wine to go with the meal. After dinner we watched the ball drop and then we were in bed by 12:30. We enjoyed our New Year’s Eve even though we didn’t have a party because of COVID.
During the evening I took a handful of pictures with my Polaroid. Instead of posting them all, I made a little collage of different times during the evening.
