Winter Wanderings

There are some pictures you just never get around to sharing until it's really past the proper time.

Take this one, for example.

My cat hates to see the Christmas tree go, because he absolutely loves sleeping under it. So when we took it down the first week of January, this was his expression all day. Silly kitty. ;)

And these:

My brothers and I have a tradition to make paper snowflakes and suspend them from our living room ceiling each winter. We were spraying some with a fixative to make them more stiff, and I liked the way the design was left behind.

Like my blue fingertips? My brother and I made gingerbread cookies, and we decided to see what food coloring and sugar would be like as a topping. It worked moderately well... but left an interesting tint on our fingers. ;)

One day I pulled out the cord to charge my mp3 player... and this was the shape it was in:

Even my seashells are photogenic in wintertime:

And last, but not least, two random outdoor winter pictures that I simply love.

Thus wraps up my random winter wanderings! Tune in next time to hear and see more about a certain ice storm that encrusted my world last week. Though the walking was treacherous, the world was breathtakingly beautiful. :)

Just Like a Writer

I've been writing a lot recently, and one day when I had writer's block I took out my camera and started taking pictures of my work. And I was actually pretty pleased with the results!

These pictures are of my allegory. Can you figure out what it's about?

My favorite means of writing: paper and pencil.

My faithful hands that work so diligently without complaining (too much).

I kind of like this one in sepia. What do you think?

The Simple Things

Sometimes the simple things, the things that are ordinary or mundane, can be the most beautiful.

For example, dandelions:

An ant:

And perhaps even spiderwebs:

And of course, the sky.
