It feels like spring out lately.  I like it but worry that it is not good for the plants and my Daffodils that think it is spring and are coming up already.  I took this image on a day like we have been having several years ago out in San Francisco California, a place I would love to revisit.  I went to see the Pacific Ocean and then walked along the coast past the Golden Gate Bridge, the subject of this photo, to the piers and saw Sea Lions there.  My feet were tired by the end, it was several miles I walked that day.  I gave this a B&W treatment to make it appear like a vintage photo and never shared it so here you go.

Sunday for a long time has been for steam, Steamy Sunday, and with the first Sunday of the new year I had to begin with my favorite tourist steam railroad, the Cumbres & Toltec.  I took this shot from the campground I was staying at as the train was heading out in the morning from Chama New Mexico.  It was on it's way to Anonito Colorado and would be passing back and forth over the border 11 times as it made it's way there.  A fun time and great experience.

This is another of this year's Frozen Bubble attempts.  It is way too warm now to try again.  Guess we shall see what the winter has in store if I will be able to try again.

So we are back to warmer weather again.  I like it but I have Daffodils that are confused and coming up already.  Not good.  This image is from this past spring.  A web with water drops that I focused stacked about 5 images to get this one.

I got this image this summer of a double rainbow.  My front yard view isn't the loveliest so I shot it at this angle with the trees instead of just buildings.  May the new year be filled with rainbows and good things.  😃

It has been bitterly cold for us the last couple of days.  I hate the cold but decided to make the most of it and try to do a frozen bubble image.  I like the results mostly, it turned out better than I thought it was going to due to my shutter speed and some movement in the bubble.  I am not sure I like how the flower reflected in the bubble.  I didn't notice that at the time as I had to shoot fairly quickly.  I did like the overall result though with the color it added.

Well, we made it.  Hope this one is better than the last.  I hope it is a good year for all of you and that you get to do the things you love, at least once in a while.  😃
