Day 77 – A photo I took over the holidays while in Chicago. Not much color correction needed this time.
Chicago Water Tower
Littlest Snowman
Day 76 – Don’t be fooled by his diminutive size. He’s one tough snowman!
2012 Snow Sculpting Competition
Day 74 – I went to check out the snow sculpting competition today. The judges will see the final works tomorrow so everyone was busy trying to finish up. The place was a buzz with the sounds of chisels and shovels, kids laughing, music playing. It was cold and crisp today and the wood burning in barrels to keep the folks warm was a lovely smell. I’ll try to get back there tomorrow. I always like to see who won.
A Walk in the Woods
Day 73 – A nice picture I took this fall out at the state park. Learning to use Lightroom still.
Windy City Marilyn
Day 72 – Still trying to figure out Lightroom on the Mac. The program is so powerful and can give me so much freedom to adjust my photos. Now if I can just learn how to properly size them for the blog.
Blue Sky Evergreen
Day 71 – I have a new MacBookPro now. This is a test photo.
Letters To Santa
Day 68 – I took this picture at our town’s Festival of Lights display tonight. The moving car (that I was driving) made for a difficult shot set-up, but the letter box was too sweet to pass up.
Birds On A Wire
Day 66 – Keeping watch over the neighborhood, catching up on all the gossip.
Holiday Cheer
Day 65 – A little holiday cheer to light the way home.
Freedom Is Not Free
Day 64 – December 7, 1941 – “…a day that will live in infamy…” FDR.
This statue is part of a larger display memorializing the other major conflicts America has been in. Someone had left the rose in her hand. I thought that it was worth remembering all the women who serve in wartime and the sacrifices they made.
