greenery hidden under the refuse of autumns detritus has been popping up under the warmth of the past few days. I'll be quite happy if spring comes early this year

i got a couple of neat pics, but i am quite sad and a lot frustrated.  i noticed that my camera has not been focusing correctly and thought  it was due to a dirty lens

i do try to make everything into macro with a normal lens.  turns out that my camera - just isn't focusing correctly. it does ok on the far shots, but on the closer ones i can hear the little motor whirring in and out trying to get a proper fix.

if anyone has experience with this issue gimme a holler cause i cant afford too much money to fix a faulty motor, if that's what it is. hopefully all it needs is a cleaning, otherwise im looking at paying for a new camera.  or writing a gofundme proposal... riiiight.

if so im gonna get a Canon, as I am not all that happy with my Nikon after a scant 3-4 years of usage. even my five year old i phone takes better photos. the lack of zoom function kills it however.

over the next week ill put out some other topical posts to spread them out since snow and 17 degrees will happen for the next few days and i plan on hibernation.
