    Cold Evening Walk

    20141210_DSCF5589-EditIt has been getting cold at night, dropping into the high teens and only rising to mid thirties for highs. Not the sort of weather I enjoy walking in but sometimes we just have to bite the bullet and get out there. This was taken on a late evening. Hand held ISO 6400.

    Wish List

    Christmas Star

    The temperature  was 12 degrees this morning at 6:00 am. Light snow has been falling since yesterday. It’s not a day to be out and about even it it did get up to 25 degrees. My plan for the day was to put a roast in the crock pot, then take over the couch in a prone position and do some enjoyable reading. To accompany the roast on my plate, I added steamed asparagus with a slab of butter and baked potato (with two three slabs butter) and a tossed salad. Made for a good day. After finishing dishes I made an Egg Nog latte. I then parked myself in the easy chair and dreamed of my Christmas wish list. Have you made your list?

    Chinese Lanterns

    Had dinner at a BBQ place the other night and sat outside on the patio. It was cloudy but the temperature was wonderful. I ordered the ribs and thought they were good. I loved the colors of these Chinese lanterns with the flame in the background. So as any serious photographer would do, I put my fork down, wiped the sauce off my fingers and took a few shots, then finished the ribs. By the way, I was stuffed the rest of evening.
