We took a little walk around the woods and noticed how the pine trees hold on to the snow with their needles. Kind of pretty, don't you think?

The sky turned such a beautiful color of blue today. When I looked up and saw the moon, I knew I had to take the picture.

I'm not much one for decorating, but we're giving my bonus daughter a bridal shower on Saturday. I love the eyelet flowers on this tablecloth.

I haven't devoted much time to taking pictures lately. It seems I have just been snapping whatever to fulfill the photo a day. Today I took some time to walk around to see what I could see. This is a tree outside my office. I love the contrast of brown and green.

There were computers in all of these boxes this morning. By lunch, they were all set up. Consequently, I'm exhausted.

Here we have my beloved green coat. It took me a long time to love it, but now it's my favorite. I bought it at a dress shop in downtown Louisburg. It was on the clearance rack, and I paid all of $25 for it. Too good of a deal to pass up!

Thinking over what you have done, what works, what doesn't, what you'll change next time. So how does this story fit with this picture? Notice the reflection of the heater in the window.

I found a website today that gives ideas each day for taking pictures. Today's photo challenge was to find a body of still water and take a picture of something reflected in it. I knew there was a little stream behind school so I grabbed the camera and headed out. It has been ridiculously cold lately, and it hasn't gotten above freezing for at least 4 days, very unusual for NC. Anyway, the little stream was frozen, so you get a picture of the ice.

Homemade pizza tonight! If anyone wants to try, I used Tyler Florence's recipe for the dough. Super easy and oh so good! For the record, my half is the spinach half.

Tonight Donald and I decided to try the new Shucker's in Wake Forest. We loved the old one, but the previous owners sold it sometime last year. While the new one was good, it lacked the charm of the old one. The food was good, but not great, and we both felt like we had been "herded" through our meal. Will we go back? Maybe, but there was nothing there that makes either one of us want to rush back tomorrow.

Happy New Year! Donald and I celebrated by walking to the lake. We surprised some bow hunters, who decided to leave. I'm sure we also surprised the deer they were hunting.

A Year in Pictures

It was a fun project. Here's a slide show of the entire year.
