    Friday, March 1, 2013 "ULTRA STILETTOS" "I was born in high heels and I've worn them ever since." ~ Helena Christensen Here's another one for all of the shoe fanciers. This shoe was worn last Friday by Shelia, one of my colleagues who LOVES shoes as much as I do. She wears some of the most unique and attention-grabbing shoes! She sure did look "glam," in her hot pink suit, black shirt, and hot pink/black polka dot bow-tie; but I shudder to think how my feet would have felt at the end of the day:). Previously, I posted a shot of another one of her shoes here: http://godschild.smugmug.com/Project365/Daily-Dose-of-One-A-Day-2012/19925393_swcnH9#!i=2241393102&k=dVLkNvK&lb=1&s=A TGIF!!!! ***#6 photo of the day*** (photo taken 2/22/2013)

    • Thursday, February 7, 2013 "NIGHT LIGHTS" "It's a strange world of language in which skating on thin ice can get you into hot water." ~ Franklin P. Jones SOOC, uncropped - final post from the series of ice photos taken during a winter storm in our city last month Thanks for your comments on the photos in this series and your patience with seeing so much "ice" over the course of ten days:). The entire "Ice, Ice, Baby 2013" gallery is here: http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/27557881_FhvPHs#!i=2319909262&k=GVrxnbQ Hang in there; tomorrow is Friday! ***#3 photo of the day*** (photo taken 1/15/2013 at night)
    • Tuesday, February 5, 2013 "FROZEN RED BERRIES" "Better than any argument is to rise at dawn and pick dew-wet red berries in a cup." ~ Wendell Berries Photographed on day two of a winter storm in our city, here's a tree full of red nandina berries in our neighbor's front yard. The ice has encased each branch and berry. Nothing brightens up a frosty landscape like red berries. Because the berries aren't favorites of the birds, they will last nearly all winter. It was another 60% work day.........woo hoo:)! Thanks for your overwhelmingly kind comments on yesterday's "Spikes of Ice" photo. I have two more to post in the series and then, it's on to another subject:). Have a terrific Tuesday. ***#8 photo of the day*** (photo taken 1/15/2013)
    • Wednesday, February 6, 2013 "TIED, TANGLED, AND TWISTED" "Those who cannot understand how to put their thoughts on ice should not enter into the heat of debate." ~ Friedrich Nietzsche Photographed on day two of the ice in our city due to a winter storm, the massess of ice on the branches of a bush (near the tree with the red berries - yesterday's post) in our neighbor's front yard appear tangled, in my opinion. It was also another 60% work day......woo hoo! One more to go from this series....... Have a wonderful "hump" day! ***#4 photo of the day*** (photo taken 1/15/2013)
    • Monday, February 4, 2013 "SPIKES OF ICE" “Honesty is like an icicle; once it melts, that is the end of it” ~ American Proverb This is one of my favorites in my "Ice, Ice Baby - 2013" series. I was pleasantly surprised to see colorful leaves on this small bush in our front yard. Photographed on day two of the ice in our city due to a winter storm, it was also another 60% work day. Thanks for your comments on yesterday's "Frozen Leaves" photo. Happy Monday and have a great start to the work week. ***#4 photo of the day*** (photo taken 1/15/2013)
    • Sunday, February 3, 2013 "FROZEN LEAVES" “Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.” ~ Albert Schweitzer SOOC, uncropped, and best viewed in large A tree in our backyard on day two of the ice in our city due to a winter storm...... and another 60% work day It's Super Bowl XLVII Sunday in NOLA (New Orleans, LA, that is:) and John and Jim Harbaugh have become the first brothers to coach against one another on the NFL's biggest stage. John is the head coach for the Baltimore Ravens; Jim, on the other hand, is the head coach for the San Francisco 49ers. My guys are pulling for the Balitmore Ravens. Have a blessed, touchdown, and win-win kind of day. ***#5 photo of the day*** (photo taken 1/15/2013)
    • Saturday, February 2, 2013 "FROZEN DEAD LEAVES" "Do not think of your faults; still less of others' faults. Look for what is good and strong and try to imitate it. Your faults will drop off like dead leaves when their time comes." ~ John Ruskin Brrrrr..........frozen leaves on a wrought iron chair - photographed on day two of the winter ice storm in our city this year. The result? It was another 60% work day..........woo hoo!!! I appreciate your comments on my "Ice, Ice, Baby" series:)! Also, I've noticed that some of my previous daily photos are reappearing today - some with comments, others without. Thanks, anyway. Have a safe weekend, my friends! ***#30 photo of the day*** (photo taken 1/15/2013)
    • Wednesday, January 30, 2013 "ICICLES" “Silent icicles, quietly shining to the quiet moon.” ~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge SOOC, uncropped Brrrrr........The ice has encased each branch. Here's another really cold shot from the rain and ice we had on January 14, 2013 due to a winter storm. This is a shot of one of two rose bushes in our backyard - photographed the same day as the previous pic. I took several pics that will be forthcoming, so bare with me; we so rarely have icicles:). Have a wonderful Wednesday. ***#21 photo of the day*** (photo taken 1/14/2013)
    • Thursday, January 31, 2013 "ICE-COATED CYCAD" "If any man seeks for greatness, let him forget greatness and ask for truth, and he will find both." ~ Horace Mann SOOC, uncropped Brrrrr.........raindrops keep falling on my........ I couldn't resist posting another "ice cold" shot from the effects of our city's recent winter storm two weeks ago. This is the Japanese Sago Palm that you've seen from different perspectives in previous daily posts in my 2012 gallery. It was photographed the same day as the previous two pics. Sago Palms actually are not in the palm family, but are instead a cycad.... its botanical name being Cycas Revoluta. Fortunately Cycas Revoluta is a relatively cold tolerant cycad, able to handle frost and temps as low as 19 degrees Fahrenheit. Thanks for your comments on my "ICICLES" photo yesterday. Hang in there; tomorrow is Friday! ***#12 photo of the day*** (photo taken 1/14/2013)
    • Friday, February 1, 2013 "ICY BUSH" “To every word of love I heard you whisper, the raindrops seem to play a sweet refrain.” ~ The Beatles Brrrr.....it's February, already and my hubby informed me that today is National Wear Red Day! Red is my favorite color. Since ice storms are very rare for us, I have a few more shots from the winter storm two weeks ago to share and then I'll move on to another subject:). Photographed the same day as the previous three pics, this is one of four short bushes in our front yard covered in ice. It was also a 60% work day........woo hoo:)! Oh Happy Friday! ***#4 photo of the day*** (photo taken 1/14/2013)
    • Sunday, January 27, 2013 "PRAY" "Bow, stubborn knees!" ~ William Shakespeare Have a wonderfully safe and blessed day! ***#14 photo of the day*** (photo taken 1/12/2013)
    • Tuesday, January 29, 2013 "STREAMS OF ICE" “Mirrors are ice which do not melt: what melts are those who admire themselves in them.” ~ Paul Morand SOOC, uncropped Brrrrr........... Two weeks ago, on the day this mirror was photographed, we were allowed to leave work early (12:50 PM) due to an ice storm warning in effect. Once I arrived home and parked the vehicle under the garage, I took this picture. The weather was intensely freezing cold with temps in the lower 30s during the day and the lower 20s at night. I was hoping for snow:). Have a terrific Tuesday! (photo taken 1/14/2013)

Have you left a place for divine love?" ~ Fulton J. Sheen A roadside attraction that was featured at RoadsideAmerica.com here: http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/22690 The teepee seats 83 and serves as the dining room of a barbecue restaurant -- and also contains the "World's Largest Display of Indian Tribal Flags.

Why choose when you can have it all? Official website is here: http://www.rssc.com/ Your comments regarding yesterday's post are so humbly appreciated. It landed in the #1 spot! I am still learning so much about photography. SmugMuggers, you rock!!! By the grace of God, I made it through 2½ years of posting a daily photo.......woo hoo!!! I'd like to take this opportunity to say that I genuinely and humbly appreciate all of my fellow SmugMuggers and non-SmugMuggers who have perused and commented on my photos - whether in the daily community, my other galleries, or both. Additionally, I am so honored to be among many meticulous and discerning photographers who really know the art of photography. As a result, I have been inspired by many of you. Thank you all for welcoming me into this community, appreciating my work, and for what you demonstrate in the name of photography. I await with great anticipation your photos in 2013. Tomorrow is New Year's Day (2013)! ***#12 photo of the day*** (photo taken 12/29/2012)
    • Tuesday, January 1, 2013 "2013" Theme "We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day. ~ Edith Lovejoy Pierce The debut of our New Year's Table Setting..........for Judy (aka "fotoeffects") Imitation is suicide; these are my original designs/creations and themes. Please do not recreate or copy and use them as your own. Why be a "cheap copy" when you can create a "designer's original?" This year, I solicited the help of my SmugMug friends for color combinations for our New Year's (2013) table setting. And the story goes like this...... Last month, Judy (aka fotoeffects) suggested red, chartreuse, and hot pink accents for our December Christmas table setting. On the other hand, Karen (aka Kjakes1) suggested red and gold. Although I finally decided upon purple, lime green, silver, and black - colors suggested by fellow SmugMugger Nelli and Shelia ( a colleague), I still created a table setting in Karen's suggested color scheme and felt up to the challenge of creating one in Judy's suggested color scheme, too. For this one, I tried to create a different arrangement of the ornaments for each plate. Additional photos of this table setting can be viewed here: http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/11014855_M5W6FW#!i=2291582302&k=6nXGtCg View the purple, lime green, black, and silver Christmas table setting for Nelli and my colleague here: http://godschild.smugmug.com/Project365/Daily-Dose-of-One-A-Day-2012/19925393_swcnH9#!i=2231458253&k=MXP8G6q&lb=1&s=A.

    • Thursday, December 20, 2012 "2012" "A Christmas wish: May you never forget what is worth remembering, or remember what is best forgotten." ~ Irish Proverb SOOC, uncropped I love viewing beautiful Christmas decorations.

    • Friday, December 21, 2012 "PRAY, PREY, PRAY" "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." ~ Revelation 21:4, The Bible (KJV). Unfortunately, a week ago today, twenty children and six teachers died after a man packing heavy firearms embarked on a ghastly killing spree at Sandy Hook Elementary School. We offer our deepest sympathies to the families. "Prey" (in the caption) is not a typo; get it? "Following the devastating mass shooting in Newtown, Conn., support for stricter gun control laws is now the highest it's been in a decade and has surged 18 points since the spring of this year," according to a new CBS News poll. Also, "President Obama has said that in the coming weeks, he will use whatever power is at his disposal in efforts to prevent anymore such tragedies." ~ Reprinted text from here: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-57559669/poll-support-for-stricter-gun-control-at-10-year-high/ Do you know what today is? It's the first day of winter. 4 days until Christmas....... TGIF and vacation starts........woo hoo! ***#22 photo of the day*** (photo taken 12/17/2012)
    • Wednesday, December 19, 2012 "BALLOON CHRISTMAS TREE" "Blessed are those that can give without remembering and receive without forgetting." ~ Unknown Author Thanks a million for your overwhelmingly kind comments on my post of the day yesterday. SmugMuggers rock!! The Gaylord Texan Resort is decked out in all of its holiday splendor and glory. How many ways can you make a Christmas tree? Well, this creatively interesting and unique tree is made with balloons! Can you believe it? I love it! Also, with one-and-a-half million twinkling lights, 12,000 ornaments, an amazing 52-foot-tall rotating Christmas tree, a life-sized gingerbread house (yes, it's made of real gingerbread!) and exclusive holiday events and attractions, Gaylord Texan offers some of the most distinctive holiday entertainment you can imagine. Additionally, this year, you don't want to miss ICE! featuring DreamWorks' Merry Madagascar. The animated holiday TV special will be brought to life in an interactive world of colorful ice sculptures and 20-feet tall ice slides carved entirely from TWO MILLION pounds of ice. Relive the story of how Alex the Lion and his friends saved Christmas after Santa and his reindeer crash onto the island of Madagascar. ICE! Merry Madagascar is hand carved by 40 artisans from Harbin, China who arrived in early fall. You've got to see it to believe it!

    • Tuesday, December 18, 2012 "SWEET TARTS CANDY CANES" "And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled ’till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.” ~ Dr. Seuss, an iconic and beloved American writer and cartoonist 7 days until Christmas.........
