I'm pretending...

2 Years + Photo 148 - February 28

I'm actually pretending that it's spring...although it's not working very well.

Warm me up!

2 Years + Photo 147 - February 27

I'll use what I need to stay warm...and keep whining for spring to hurry up and get here!

Good night!

2 Years + Photo 146 - February 26

I do enjoy my picture taking in the dark...

My favorite...

2 Years + Photo 145 - February 25

Chili Dinner usually brings me the opportunity to hoard my favorite dessert - raspberry cheesecake. Thank you, Wendy, for not disappointing - it is amazing!

Waiting for the wind...

2 Years + Photo 144 - February 24

Big people pin wheel...I'm excited to see it in motion.

Lots of hungry people!

2 Years + Photo 143 - February 23

We had quite a good crowd for chili today - and another successful Chili Dinner in the books.

It's Prep Time

2 Years + Photo 142 - February 22

Yes...it's time for the St. John Annual Chili Dinner! Time to get the chili started!

Going...going...

2 Years + Photo 141 - February 21

But it's not quite gone...yet. I am happy to see it starting to disappear, though! C'mon, spring!

Still waiting...

2 Years + Photo 140 - February 20

No flowers outside...so I guess I'll have to enjoy the ones I have inside - even if they're not real.

Seriously?

2 Years + Photo 139 - February 19

Really? Thank you, TD Auto Finance. I will try not to spend it all in one place.

Good morning, sunshine!

2 Years + Photo 138 - February 18

Sun through the tree = no sun flare! And it's amazing how blue the snow looks without a little touching up.

Snowman...up close & personal

2 Years + Photo 137 - February 17

Shootin' the boys!

2 Years + Photo 136 - February 16

Augie is 6 months old already! So it's time for another photo shoot. Charlie was his semi-cooperative self, but he's so much fun to shoot. He got a hold of my remote control and the flashes were going off all over the place. Mommy was not happy.

Winter flowers

2 Years + Photo 135 - February 15

Pretty, but I'll be much happier when it's time for the spring flowers!

More beauty from Mother Nature

2 Years + Photo 134 - February 14

More snow sculptures from a different perspective.

Hanging around...

2 Years + Photo 133 - February 13

But it's some pretty meaningful stuff that is just "hanging around."

Wednesday, February 12, 2014

Follow me...

2 Years + Photo 132 - February 12

All footprints have to lead someplace, right?

Tuesday, February 11, 2014

Just because

2 Years + Photo 131 - February 11

Just a little playing with the post-processing...

Sentiments...

2 Years + Photo 130 - February 10

Yes - they can be found throughout the house.

Thank you...

I need a new pantry

2 Years + Photo 128 - February 8

This picture makes me sad and angry at the same time. Most of what's in these bags is discarded cans from outdated food that I pulled out of the pantry. I've now started a log telling me what's buried in the back, so we can use up what's in there so this doesn't happen again.

Courtesy of...the wind

2 Years + Photo 127 - February 7

Where the wind has a wide open space to blow, it does some beautiful things with the snow.

In full stride

2 Years + Photo 126 - February 6

Trinka loves the snow, and sometimes I find her out there running through it just to run.

Hi, I'm Libby

2 Years + Photo 125 - February 5

Libby's here to visit while Fred has his back surgery. She's a little leery of Trinka, but all in all they seem to get along fine.

Waiting for next time...

2 Years + Photo 124 - February 4

The duck will have to wait until the grandchildren come back to visit...

Visitors

2 Years + Photo 123 - February 3

We haven't seen the deer around for a while, although we always see their tracks across the yard. They seemed a little annoyed that there wasn't any bird food in the feeder.

Trinka's tracks

2 Years + Photo 122 - February 2

The sun was actually so bright on the snow that Trinka's tracks were pretty invisible before I did some post-processing.
