Day 363: Snow and a Globe

Here is a photo from this morning (because, if you haven't figured it out yet, I'm obsessed with taking sunrise pictures of behind our house) and one from this evening.

Day 362: Yeah, It's December Now

Today was snowy and bitterly cold early on. The sun came out a bit later and warmed things up enough to melt some snow, which refreezed as icicles. These are on the awning at the Book Nook.

Day 352: Snow, Man

Walked outside this evening because I wanted to head across the street and take a photo of the snow on a bunch of pine tree tops. As I was walking though, I changed my mind when I saw the sun setting (and then I took one of a pine tree in our yard).

Day 346: Starstream

I tried to take some star trail photos tonight, but stupid light pollution made it look kind of gray. But it's still kind of neat.

Day 345: Skipped a Day

Okay, as it turns out the day that I repeated was almost a hundred days ago (I think there are two Day 243s). So rather than going back through and changing every blog title, I just skipped to the day that it really is now. Here's another sunrise from the back of our house (which looks awesome every sunny morning).

Days 337-343: Falling Apart

Apolojeeez again. The good news is that I'll be done with the semester in a couple of more days. The bad news is I'll probably not post again until after that (but maybe I'll get them up before then, who knows). Anyway, here are the photos from the past days. And I'm pretty sure that my Day numbers got messed up somewhere, but I can't figure out where, because at the rate I'm going I'll end on day 364. Oh well.....

Days 333-335: Another Sum Up

Days 326-330: Playing Ketchup

Sorry for the lack of posts over the holiday. I was away from reliable internet (and the internet at Barnes and Noble is too slow to upload images). I'm just gonna do one sweeping post from the whole weekend to catch up through yesterday. Sorry for not including the photo stats. I'll have today's photo(s) a little later.

Wed, #326: Mom's cat Maddy

Thurs, #327: Thanksgiving Sunset

Fri, #328: Kohen

Sat, #329: Devan in a Tree

Sun, #330: Kohen Some More (Ignore the snot...)

Day 325: Return O' Da Pot Pie

I tried to capture the steam emanating from my veggie pot pie that I had for dinner this evening. You can kind of see it, but my eyes were seeing much, much more.
