Winter thoughts of spring


In midst of the Polar Vortex spotting flowers at the market bring thoughts of spring! Today is Ground Hog Day and Punxsutawney Phil is predicting six more weeks of winter. Another winter storm is predicted to arrive tomorrow, so this seemed to be an appropriate choice for today's post!

I've submitted this to the January Photo-Heart Connection and hope to get some inspiration to freshen up this blog in the coming months!

Whirlwind Week

The second week of this new year certainly was a whirlwind of a week, seems like everyday past Monday just sped on by!

Tuesday found us waiting in the doctors office for a bit too long... I just hate how much time is spent in these rooms! While we haven't really had any snow since October, the temps dropped enough for the daughter's boots to make an appearance. 



Got the Boot!
I find that I'm shooting a lot with the iPhone, love this convenient little device because it is always with me without weighing me down. Since it's also my phone, I dare not leave home without it.

Wednesday was off to a pretty bad start...

Bad Start
Daughter's car wouldn't turn over for anything... off to the mechanic we sent it! Not a horrible diagnosis, just some spark plugs needed to be replaced. Glad it happened now and not next week when she's back at school for her final semester. :-)

On a client visit I found this cute little couple just watching over things in the office

Desktop Buddies
My little friend Jeero is always looking for some "Snackers", but I think he's feeling a bit bloated from all the cookies

Lighter Snackers
Saturday afternoon Kate and I had the most delicious Peppers and Egg sandwich I've had in ages. She found an awesome recipe, I think this one is a keeper.

Lunch!
Sundays are so refreshing, a great day to relax! Hopefully the chores are done and a nice light snack of fresh apples can be enjoyed in peace and quiet.

Sliced!
And here we are, right back at Monday again... Monday morning just doesn't seem so bad when you have a friend right by your side...

Watching You

And as a bonus... another black and white shot, from Saturday's lunch preparation

TV Time

The holidays are surely slipping away and the routine begins to approach normal. A freshly groomed Maddox finds his spot for the evening.

5/366 Watched iPhoneography Workshop great information for iPhone users and Jack Hollingsworth's enthusiasm is down-right contagious.

Focus...


Getting gear ready for the challenges ahead... I'm off to a little of slow start, need to get my head back in the game.
There are many projects I'd like to accomplish this year, the Tasra365 Reinvented I mentioned yesterday, but also some others that include a twice weekly posting which starts with b&w for January and a fun little Ugly Monday Flickr group... just to keep me amused with my toy photography. Unfortunately the Uglies spent the weekend at the office so they weren't available for the kick off this week... I'm sure they'll rise to the occassion as soon as they hear about this exciting project, featuring THEM!

Until next time... Live, Love, Laugh!
