Take a Holiday

Take a Holiday

What was your first thought when you saw this picture? Don’t be shy, you aren’t going to hurt my feelings. Did the caption sway what you feel or think? Do you like it when a photoblog has more than just a picture each day? To me it’s not that great a shot, technically, but I’ve been thinking more and more that getting and posting the perfect shot isn’t the end goal. The hotel holds no particular significance. But, it takes me back to a day and a feeling. A day and a feeling that you didn’t experience, but that’s the blog part of photoblog I guess.

More ice

While the ice had still coated everything I finally got out and took some pictures. I grabbed my kenko extension tubes and found some interesting things before getting too cold to shoot anymore!

This is the tip of a branch from one of the trees in my front yard. The ice is finally all gone leaving a couple of my trees pretty well demolished. We’ve finally got electricity back. 12 days without electricity is a wierd experience. :)

I’m still stuck with no electricity at home and more ice and snow falling today. A week and a day without power now.
It’s wierd how disrupted life gets without the everyday things! :) I’m warm and have food though so I’m doing good.
This is another shot from my trip to Vegas. I braved the cold yesterday and snapped some shots of the ice left from the recent ice storm.
But, alas, I haven’t the energy to work on them. Besides looking at pictures of this mess doesn’t sound like fun just yet.
