Day 034 Marshmallow and Toothpick buildings
Day 004 The days are so short right now, and even more so because of our night owlishness, so the sun often sets before I've given much thought to my camera. So I caught a gorgeous sunset from my front porch today. This is only slightly richer than I saw with my eyes, thanks to Lightroom and the vibrancy slider. Do you think I left too much sky?  How would you have cropped it? The tree on the far left was entirely there, but the upper left corner was a black triangle from the ceiling of my porch.
Day 002 New in the mailbox today is the second issue of the new magazine published by Clickinmoms and a new issue of Highlights magazine (not nearly such a new publication!).

"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.

"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!
