Ah, cross-country skiing. Did that for a VERY VERY brief time back when I was in middle school. I was a total beginner and the school accidentally placed me with the intermediates.

Here in Southern California, there's still no snow, but local mountains have already created snow for skiing. I can't wait to go snowboarding next Sunday! :)

I think Boxing Day is a British thing.

Sammi: If you can afford it, get the successor to the SD700: the SD900 :) Check http://www.steves-digicams.com for reviews, whenever he has a chance to get to it.

I miss my 17-40mm, but am happy with the 17-55mm.

Hi there, I agree that spammers is an annoyance, but making the registration process an even lengthier one can turn legitimate visitors away.

Hi Yann,

Welcome to the site! You are welcome to post anywhere and feel free to ask your questions.

One thing that stood out the most that needs to be worked on is the spelling/grammar. Design-wise, I like your site: it's simple and easy to navigate.

Your photography skills have improved quite a bit.

Eddy: No, I don't camp much (do a LOT more snowboarding, however.) Just came back from Yosemite -- we cut the trip short because all the places we wanted to go to were closed :( Didn't shoot that many pics this time around :( I also have the 17-55mm lens now and yes... $$$$! Sammi: Target had a sale...

Yosemite camping trip :) I'm leaving tomorrow late afternoon :) Time to take new pictures and play with my umm... "new" lens. Haven't used it since I bought it over a month ago.
