It has been REALLY cold around here!

Brrrrr.

Lucky for me, this house is full of Scottie dog jumpers!

Why, I don't even need socks because I'm so toasty warm.

(That means I can eat my socks for a light snack!)

It goes without saying that the cold spell has led Dad to point the camera at the wrong things again.

He ...

... is ...

... out ...

... of ...

... control.

Dad traded his perfectly good German glass for other perfectly good German glass.

This particular lens is optimized to render my toes perfectly. The Germans really do make good stuff.

Apparently it's a good lens to capture Riley while she's watching TV.

Dad let her shoot one of him too. This is Riley's first published image.

Dad says it took him years to make photos that good ...

... but we're still waiting to see just one that matches up.

If he keeps wasting his time practicing on pigs, it's never going to happen.

Oh! That's better.

The Denver Zoo is doing their Zoolights thing today! They open up at night and put festive lights on everything!

What do you mean by "There's a special guest in attendance?"

Oh no. It's nice that Zoe got along with this guy ...

... but Zoe gets along with everybody.

GAH. This guy smells like Skoal and reindeers.

Dude. More reindeers, less Skoal.

These are the Zoolights.

It snowed!

Zoe got to go for her first sled ride.

Dad removed most of her booger icicles in post. Nobody needs to see that.

BEAR SLED!

Clara came along with us.

In this photo, the two of us are looking at some snow.

Zoe put up with a lot today.

I REALLY LIKE SNOW (for brief periods of time)!

Dad took the opportunity to point his camera at the wrong things again.

See?

He likes the little water droplet in this one ...

... and he thinks this looks like a snow caterpillar.
