Wallace...

 

This is my dog Wallace (named after William Wallace) and this is his favorite place to be.  He will stay here all day if we let him and be completely covered in snow.  We have to go out and take him by the collar and bring him in if we want him to come.  You can tell by the look on his face that he is in heaven.

New York City in the snow...

My husband turned 60 this December and we enjoyed a wonderful snowy day in New York.  We have always tried to spend the day together on our birthdays.  I  have always looked forward to taking that time and putting the other stresses of life aside to spend the day together.  We really need to do it more often.  I'm up next.



Got to have Starbucks to start our day.

A stop at Magnolia Bakery after lunch for a birthday cupcake.
 
Pretty sprinkles in the window.

This sight never gets old.

What's old is new again...

I find it so interesting that the more advanced we are in technology we somehow long for the old ways.  I was very hesitant about the digital age but I did join in and have really enjoyed it.  I love my camera, computer and scanner because I loved the ease of it all.  I don't miss the chemicals in the dark room, missed photographs because I didn't meter properly, or sending film off to be developed only to find there isn't anything on it.  Having said all that I have found that I'm becoming lazy about photography instead of being intentional about what I'm shooting.  I have been shooting some film and I find myself wanting to check if I have it right after the fact instead of making sure before I press the shutter.  I have also been playing around with my new toy, a Polaroid SX70... yep that's what I said...Polaroid. I really love the warm beautiful images that you get with it.  I'm in love!  Here is a little taste of what I mean.  If you are a baby boomer you might feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
