Storm Season

It's storm season in Brisbane. For the last 6 days, it's been mostly cloudy and humid. Temperatures in the high 20's Celsius. And it has rained every day. Usually just after dark. But, the rain has been accompanied by thunderstorms. Big thunderstorms, along with squall lines of high winds and rain. Our biggest worries is bushfires...wildfires caused by lightning out in the bush. We're set for another few days of this weather, followed by a return to sunny days.

On the personal side, I splurged and bought a digital SLR camera. I found a Canon EOS 400D on sale, along with a basic lens. I'm taking it out and about the city to get used to all the adjustments. My phone cam has been good to me, and I intend to keep it around. The phone has good resolution, but it's really best for snapshots. I'm hoping the new camera will allow me to take much higher quality photos. And, since it's digital, I can throw away the vast quantity of bad photos I expect to take, without having to pay for developing film.

I start working for the new company in a few weeks. I'll be getting some new computer equipment and commuting to a different office. I'm looking forward to the change. It's a busy time, but I'm really enjoying it!
