From 6" of snow last week, to a sunny 76° Sunday afternoon, back down to 30° and 5-8" of snow today... that's St. Louis for you. I put out my bird feeder last week, but have yet to see any birds. I do often see a pesky squirrel eating from it, though, but I haven't yet taken a picture of him. Here's the feeder in the snow today (see below)... I'll be hopefully getting some nice bird pictures as spring comes in full force (if this snow ever goes away!).
This is also the first image I've processed in Apple's Aperture 2.0 program; I'm using a trial version right now, but I'm contemplating buying the full version soon... it's a lot smoother of a workflow for my RAW files than what I've been doing (copy them from the memory card, open them in Adobe Camera RAW, enhance/retouch, then export to a folder of JPEGs, then import into iPhoto). Now I simply insert the memory card and import into Aperture.
