"Just in case you're dreaming of summer...

...here's a cool drink to aid your daydreams."

At least someone is enjoying waiting for the bus :)

Exhausted mom was sitting in the doorway with the baby stroller and child #3 (see him in the window. I can imagine four children in a busy city would be tiring.

When I go out shooting, I seem to always look for doors, windows and signs. Loved finding this older one. And no, the clock does not work.

Just a few shots I took last fall on an early morning walk.

I've been busy lately scanning old slides and transferring them to my computer. I was struck by the colors of the old Kodachrome and Ektachrome films and feeling a little sad that the last processor stopped work on that discontinued film.

This is not an old slide, but an attempt to recreate that feeling.

I know some people call them "rats with wings", but their colors are rather beautiful.

Feeling housebound because of the cold, I started playing in photoshop. I learned a few things, but it's easy to get carried away...

Beautiful snow falling today, so my camera and I braved the 20 degree weather to see what we could find.

Must be a favorite with the little ones in warmer weather. They've worn the paint right off the handles!

It's starting to snow and between that and the cold {brrr}, I'm looking for things to shoot inside. This just may be fruit week. Texture week, too, since it's been awhile since I played with those.

Texture courtesy of the great Jerry Jones, the king of textures! This was from his Square Texture set #19.
