An Awesome View of Life

  Frozen Splendor...       For almost 40 years we have lived in the Minneapolis area and until today we had never seen Minnehaha Falls frozen.  It was breathtaking in more than one way. It was -2 degrees out there today.  The top photo was taken from above the falls.  The middle one was taken from the bottom after slipping and sliding down the stairs that were somewhat barricaded.  It probably meant we weren't suppose to go down there but... The final picture was taken just before we got back to our car, my hands were so frozen I could hardly switch the setting to black and white and push the button to take the photo. Today is day 365 of my 365Project!   It has been an amazing journey.   The things I take with me from this project are numerous.   Here are a few: -There is beauty in everything around us.   -Take a deep breath and enjoy life. -My photos showed others the beauty surrounding them. ...

Pigment of my Imagination... I LOVE saying this "saying" wrong. (:  So I thought I'd take a photo or 100 photos trying to capture this saying.  Yes, I took 100 photos today and most of them are crap but that's the process some days. The above photo is what I thought of when I decided to try to capture the "Pigment of my Imagination".  If you look really hard you can see the semi-truck creating the yellow and red scriggly lines.  I could take photos like this all night long.  I just need someone to be the driver for the drive-by shootings. ha! The photo below is a different representation of "Pigment of my Imagination".  It was taken using the selective color setting on my camera.  The item in the photo is one of the suits I design and create.  The stone designs on ALL of my suits are most definitely a result of my imagination with a bit of pigment thrown in. (:  

Puddled reflections...

  A Red Green Moment - one last time... Perfect. ONE red berry and just a bit of the green bush without even a pinch of cropping. I'm quite pleased with my last Red Green Moment of my 2013 365Project. (: 

  Happiness... I'm not sure why I titled it this because I'm not a huge chocolate fan anymore. I will eat it but I almost never crave chocolate.

  Christmas Sunset... What a beautiful sunset on Christmas Day.  I walked out to the middle of the lake to capture a series of sunset photos.     The walk out wasn't too bad but after actually sitting down to take these photos I walked back to the house against a strong, cold north wind with a frozen, wet tush.  I am only adding these tidbits in case I forget the real story when I'm old and senile.  (:

  Merry Christmas from our house to yours... A wonderful day spent with family at our Dad's.
