Winter Wonderland

For many I'm sure the snow is a major irritation. Walks to be shoveled. An endless need to find dry clothing for children. Lost mittens. Frozen limbs and generally unsafe driving conditions. But for those of us that don't get to experience it that often it is pure bliss. A fairyland of white. A place to run and play. We are enjoying a few glorious days in the Oregon snow. I am enthralled by the branches in the snow and my son finds the icicles irresistible.

Holiday Flowers

I love these red flowers. The seem like a great way to enjoy the holidays with something that makes me think of warmer weather. Hope your holidays are wonderful.

In the Eye of the Beholder

I saw this purse sitting on some bleachers and I thought the colors were just gorgeous and I loved the way the sun was shining on it. Some people might think it was just a pile of fabric. I think beauty for the eyes.

Searching for Fall in the Western World

I live in California where we don't really have seasons. I've always wanted to go on a color tour of the East Coast in the Fall. I'm sure it must be gorgeous. But unfortunately I have not had the opportunity to take such a trip. So I went out this weekend and looked for fall in California. We don't have a lot of trees turning colors, mostly evergreens that are - well - ever green! But the japanese maple trees and the liquid ambers do not disappoint.

To Be

To be willing to wear bright pink plaid boots.

To wear shorts on a cold day.

To be a teenager in the rain.

Juxtaposition

Why a photo of an old truck? I love the contrast between this fancy new house and the old beat up truck.

Delectable Jewels

Vegetables as Art? I wouldn't normally think so but Sunday I drove by the vegetable stand and just had to stop for some photos. The folks there buying veggies probably thought I was nuts but it wouldn't be the first time. Look at these awesome onions! They were huge (bigger than my fist). The color was so rich and the paper thin skin was so crinkly. And the tomatoes looked like bright jewels. I just wanted to eat them all.
