LEAVES

Daughter Allison creates designs from LEAVES she collects and presses. One is a daisy made from tiny Honey Locust Leaves. The other represents our family - Dad & Mom and nine kids. I love her creativity and the family one is particularly meaningful to me.

CIRCLE

I found these childlike circle trees painted on the side of a building. 

Some of the windows are circles too.

WATER

Cold enough today, the only water was dripping off the end of these icicles in the winter grayness. Then, a close up of some other ones:

                                                  Sudsy water on my windshield

                                                        at the car wash.                        

WHAT I DID TODAY

I learned how to post to my blog on my iPad. This is the only photo I had stored.

BACK IN THE GAME

Happy New Year!! Saw the new Photo a Day list at Marlene's and thought I would get back in the game after a LONG BREAK. Here we go!

BLACK & WHITE

Few things in life are clearly Black and White, so when I see patterns or shadows or clear contrast, it catches my eye. When I looked out my window this morning and saw this I knew I wanted to record it.

HAPPINESS IS...

Happiness is my own first car, er... TRUCK!    My 16 year old grandson, Levi, came home today to  see his '83 GMC truck with 71,000 original miles on it. He's got a full time summer job painting with Uncle Josh, and this big blue beast fits his style perfectly!  Happiness for me was being there (by serendipity) to see it all. Happiness for Brad was finding and making a great deal, polishing the faded paint to a little shine, and seeing Levi's reaction - Pure Happiness!
