Happy New Year!  We are starting it off with cold but sun so a step in the right direction.  Hope 2015 is a great New Year for you all and thanks so much for visiting my Blog!  Hope to share photos you all will enjoy in this new year as well.  Thanks!

While I was in Pennsylvania we went to the National Watch and Clock Museum in Columbia, PA.  I found it more interesting than I thought I would.  Displays were very nice and some interesting clocks and watches.  These are a couple that I particularly liked as they are different to the usual Felix the Cat type clocks I always see.  They were in a novelty clock section of the museum.

This is another of natures abstracts.  Ice on the window of our back door one day when it was in the single digits.

This is just a fun shot that I was doing for a Reflections Theme Project.  I believe that the double pane window created a dual reflection but I liked how it worked as the flowers were bouncing back and forth in the sun when I took this.

Happy New Years Eve!  I thought that since it is still, technically the 12 Days of Christmas, that I would share this photo today since I finally finished working on it last night.  This is the Christmas tree at the state capitol in Topeka.  It was surrounded by caution tape, which I took out, due to some work that was continuing on the dome above it.  The photo has an HDR effect on it to bring out details.  Happy last day of 2013!  Remember you can always enlarge the image to see more detail.

Merry Christmas Eve everyone!  It's the 11th Day of Christmas!  Today's image is an appropriate view for me of my Christmas Village, a train at the station.  :-)  Hope everyone is having a great Holiday!

It's the 10th Day of Christmas!  Today I am sharing a view into one of my doll houses that has a tree up for the holidays.  The geeks out there might recognize the couple in the room.  We are getting more snow.  Already have 8 inches from Saturday night.  Probably will end up with another 1 inch.

It's the 9th Day of Christmas!  Very close now!  Hope you have that shopping done.  This is an ornament I received form the people I work with at the railroad outside Topeka.  They send a lovely ornament every year a bit personalized for the railroad.  I took this in front of the tree for a bit of light bokeh.

It's the 8th Day of Christmas!  I was playing around with lighting and ornaments and this is the result.

Of for goodness sake, I can't seem to not miss a day lately.  I somehow missed this one.  Sorry.  The 4th Day of Christmas.  Today was my geeky image of my ornament of Han Solo's Millennium Falcon from Star Wars.

It's the 7th Day of Christmas!  Today's image is the color version of my B&W photo project over on Google +.  In this version you can see the moon coming up outside which I thought was pretty cool and didn't notice till I was processing the image.  This is a view of my Christmas Village and the tree in our living room.  Remember you can always enlarge to see more detail by clicking on the image.

It's the 6th Day of Christmas!  On the downhill slide now.  Can't believe how fast it's coming.  Today I am sharing a lovely Gingerbread looking house that my mom had made for me several years ago.  It's resin and though it looks edible will last a long time.  I've been enjoying it each Christmas and hope you do too.

It's the 5th day of Christmas.  Time's running out, is your shopping done yet?  This is a Hot Air Balloon ornament on my home office tree.  It's filled with gifts on it's way to someone lucky.  :-)

It's the third Day of Christmas and Santa is hungry and looking for something in the fridge!  This is an ornament that hangs on the tree in my home office.  

12/15/13

It's the second day of Christmas.  This is one of the ornaments off my Train Tree in my kitchen.  Pretty much all the ornaments except for those blue beads and some red glass balls are train related.  I believe this was a Hallmark ornament one year.

For my Black & White Project on Google + the theme was "Bokeh".  That's the aesthetic quality of  blur or out of focus area of a photo that can have a pleasing appearance.  I wanted to make it fun so put one of my favorite subjects in the image as well.

The theme for my Black & White project was Candles.  I liked the image I used in color as well as the B&W version so this is it.
