Looks kind of like an octopus... And can you believe the snow piled up on those tiny branches?

Happy Anniversary, Honey!

Time Lapse

Looking out my window at work, 12/29/10 at 8:31 a.m.

Looking out my window at work, 12/29/10 3:27 p.m.

At this point, someone measured and we had 7 1/2 inches.
I measured when I got home from work and we had at least 8.

Welcome Winter.

Part of the neighbor's Christmas decorations. The train engine fell down, so all I could get a picture of was the cars.

Rain on the Windshield


Rain on the Windshield
Originally uploaded by Sandee4242
There was a mix of clouds and blue sky when we headed to the lake for a photo yesterday. We thought maybe we could get a shot of the eagles at Higgins Point. Apparently, so did hundreds of others. By the time we got to the end of the road, there were no parking places to be found and the downpour had started.

This is my favorite (and this year, only) Christmas decoration, given to us by my sister-in-law a few years back. And if you look closely, you can see our tiny Christmas tree behind him.

From this point forward, the days are getting longer. I'm really thankful for that.

Sideshow Bob

Sideshow, in his new home, guarded by the Ram Gargoyle.

The snow had all melted, then yesterday we got a couple of inches and now I think it's supposed to snow some every day until Christmas. I'm glad. I want a white Christmas.

Ignore the wires (I know it's not easy) - isn't that a gorgeous sky?

Yesterday was a hectic day, so I grabbed this shot at lunch. More snow is expected this weekend. I have to enjoy that sky while I can.

Slang . a racehorse, athlete, or the like entered in a competition under false representation as to identity or ability.

Him: "I don't want to play Scrabble with you. I'm not a very good speller."

At the end of game one the score was 311 to 247 and I was on the losing end. The rematch was 232 to 220 and I lost that one too.

He's a ringer.

Three Crosses

I took this on the way home from photo club. The light looked really cool behind the crosses, but I wasn't able to capture it. This was handheld at night using high ISO.

Seen while waiting for the parade to start. The parade where they didn't bother to shut down the street. How can you have a parade on one side of the street & traffic on the other? Lame.
