I think this is the 3rd photo I've posted of this tree in our yard--yes, there are other trees! (This one is just my favorite.)
I'm trying to eat healthier foods this year, so I make sure I have fresh fruit on hand for a snack.
I shot this several times to get the reflection like I wanted it.
This is the Center for Advanced Imaging at King's Daughters Medical Center. (It was hard to get a good photo of the building without getting the electric poles and wires.) This is probably the most "futuristic" building in Ashland.
Across the street from Central Park is one of our local hospitals, King's Daughters Medical Center. This sculpture is in front of the Dr. Richard E. Paulus Heart and Vascular Center. (Yes, that's ice at the bottom of the sculpture!)
The last in the pond series--leaves frozen in the water.
There were several of these ice chunks on the surface of the pond. My husband and I aren't sure why they happened, anyone know?
I am soooo ready for some warmer weather so I can get outside and take photos. In the meantime, here is another one taken in my house.
I took this photo at a baby shower yesterday. The cupcakes looked yummy, but I resisted having one! Don't you just love the colors?
When we planted this Japanese Maple in our front yard several years ago, the trunk was as big around as my finger. It's grown round but not very tall (maybe 4 1/2 feet) and is really pretty and full in the summer. The trunk is definitely bent! (You've seen the bird's nest in another blog post.) This photo could also fit the snow theme.
I'm behind in blogging and taking photos! The weather hasn't allowed much shooting outside lately, so I looked for themes in the house today.
This was taken from ground level looking up at... scroll down to post 3/365!
I've had this angel for about 18 years, she was given to me by my late aunt so holds a special place in my heart. Even though her dress has poinsettias on it, she stays in my dining room throughout the year.
My "nieces"--A pair of one-year-old girls, cakes, bows... Aren't they adorable?
I guess if the nest wasn't abandoned, I could change theme #18 to "Birdie, It's Cold Outside!"
This mural is on Ashland's flood wall, painted by Denise Spaulding. The paintings are amazing! (The dead grass in front of it takes away from the mural, but it's winter here!)
Another shot from our trip to the river yesterday. This probably started out as a road somewhere! The city of Ashland is going to develop the riverfront and is gathering old concrete to use as a base.
Not the best photo, but I thought today's Hi and Lois was perfect for this theme and for the first "official" photo of my 365 in 2009. It's a whole new year and I'm going to try to "fill 'er up" (fill my blog with 365 photos)!
Someone sent me the link to a video of the song O Holy Night, so I decided to take photos of some reminders of the real reason for the Christmas season that are found on my tree and in my curio cabinet.
I was experimenting with the settings on the camera last night to see if I could make the lights on our Christmas tree look like starbursts--it worked! I also got a starburst from the streetlight outside the window.
