An Awesome View of Life

Through the looking glass... An afternoon in the city with my daughters is always good.  While they were getting their hair done I wandered around taking photos.  But when I got back to the hair salon these glass pieces caught my eye. I love the fact you can see the school that is across the street in the background of this photo. I also love the layers of glass from the glass piece on the table top, to the spoon holder, to the coffee cups, to the colorful glasses.  The sunlight and the reflections on everything just add to the visual pleasantness.  (:

Bits of color It still can be pretty here once it snows?  Another photo from a couple of days ago.  Too dang cold to go out on an adventure today.  Besides I was busy finding exciting information about my great-great grandparents who immigrated from Norway in 1875.  Way too much fun!  ha!

  More than a pair of pears...   Another photo inspiration while grocery shopping.  I didn't have my camera with this morning so I bought a few of these Forelle pears. So glad I took a photo at home in the sunshine.  Great light, color and shadows.   This is what I found out about these little pears. "For what they lack in size, Forelle pears make up in sweet flavor and beautiful appearance. Known as a great snacking pear."   So today, I got a great photo, a snack and hopefully taught anyone who reads this blog something new. 

  Winter Drab or Bits of Color...   This photo was taken from my kitchen window.  I wasn't really afraid or avoiding going outside to take pictures today, even though it never made it above zero.  The window is just where I saw this scene.  I did go out briefly to take two photos, neither of which made me smile or go "hmmm..."  One of these criteria must be met in order for a photo to be used in my photo journal.    When I first looked at this photo I thought it was rather drab, which winter is here in Minnesota.  Or is it?  But when I flipped the picture to full screen I realized just how much color is in this photo.  Color is there if you look... (You can click on the photo to enlarge it and see the colors for yourself.)

Pieces of Dreams   Yesterday I posted a picture of a stack of folded fabric that I had used for the past couple of days.  Today my picture is scraps of those same fabrics, entitled "Pieces of Dreams".  My company makes competition suits for bodybuilders, figure, fitness and physique competitors.  These little scraps of fabric represent their dreams in these sports. All their determination to get to the point where they need one of my very little suits to get out there on that stage.
