Everyone knows that kids love boxes. Isaac was no exception. This is the box that my Christmas tree came in and I had just put the tree up. Isaac was in love with this box and told me he wanted to eat his lunch in the box. The flap was a ready made table. Normally, I would have cropped these pictures so that the background junk was not showing but for some reason I am not allowed to crop and save these photos in any of my photo programs. I don't want to take the time to figure out why. I think he is about three in these pictures.








And here he is, on another day and in another box, sound asleep.

January

Don't steal my snowman!


There is only one more day in January.
I'm really glad for that.
I am wondering, however, just where the time went.
It flew past.
I'm glad we didn't get snow.
Yeah for spring.
Only a couple of more months to go.

Serenity Prayer, Take II

The path at Ward's Lake Park in Lakewood.

God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change,

the courage to change the one I can,

and the wisdom to know it's me".

~Author unknown, variation of an excerpt from "The Serenity Prayer"

Still one of my favorite pictures after all these years.

I've been going through a lot of pictures these days trying to organize them in meaningful ways that make them easy to find.
These three are still favorites after all this time. They are not great in terms of photography skills, but I love the moments they represent.
Enjoy.

My latest shots of the moon.

These are some hand held shots that were taken from David and Nikki's balcony. It was cold which made me shiver so it was hard to get any closer than this. I cropped them but otherwise they are as taken.







I like this one even though it is not what I was trying to achieve.
