Ice/Snowflakes!!

Today I braved the cold to shoot the frost on my car windows - I like what I got today but will keep trying

It's been so long!!

Ok I haven't posted anything new since Dec 6. 2010 - sorry.  December was a busy month and then January well the snow, the cold, the going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark - I do not like the month of January. 
It has snowed way too much already and we are due for more tomorrow, the only thing I look forward to is trying to get a closeup photo of a snowflake!!!!

Below are some photos I have taken since Dec 6:

 Stack of new Greeting Cards - I have sold alot and I am in the process of making new ones

Not sure what kind of duck this was that was swimming with the Geese this morning but it's cute!!

I happen to be in Manhattan when it started snowing - always like to capture NYC sites in the snow.  It seems to always snow the day after I am there or during the week when I am at work!!

 

This is me, my sister and our parents (that's Ginger at the bottom!!) I got to go home for Christmas this year and got to stay extra days because of a blizzard in NY!!  thanks Mother Nature!!

Our 2 fat cats under the Christmas tree - they were my shadows when I got home after being away for almost 2 weeks!!  Can you tell they really don't like having their photos taken

My new tape dispenser - goes with my ongoing "Shoes that Intrigue Me" theme!!!

Every Little Detail

Today was day 6 of Picture the Holidays and Tracey wanted us to:  Begin this day with eyes wide open to the tiny wonders that are constantly swirling all around you. Even at the most ordinary time of day, while doing the most mundane tasks, little moments of enchantment will reveal themselves. Find some small delight today.

I have a Charlie Brown Christmas tree - yes I got it at CVS to do the photo for our Christmas Cards this year and everyday I see the one red ornament  that came with it it makes me smile - It's all in the detail - makes you stop and see......

My view

Chances are it's chilly outside today, after all winter is coming. Whether you choose to brave the cold and venture outside today or you gaze just out your window, take a few moments to enjoy the view.


So it was chilly today so I looked out the backdoor and saw this one leaf on the mat outside.  Out of all the leaves in the yard this one leaf had blow onto the doormat - this was my view!!!!

Day 4 of Picture the Holidays

We all have at least one magic remedy that no matter what, will give us the perspective that we need. The key is to remember what that is and pull it out when we need it most -
My Key to Happiness is My Photography - put the camera in my hands and I am a very happy girl!!!!!!

Day 3 of Picture the Holidays - LOVE

Picture the Holidays - Framed

Day 2 of Picture the Holidays is about  looking at things a little differently, today you'll be using a literal frame for your image. You get to decide what goes in your frame today and how you choose to capture it!
So after the week I have had I decided I needed to find the ability to BELIEVE again......

this one is a little more focused on the frame than the Believe rock - I felt it showed me trying to find the ability to believe!!!!
