A Quiet Evening During Christmas Season

A New Post

I realized it's been just over a couple months since I've posted anything on here. Thought I'd post a few photos taken since the last post.  These socks, for those of you who are interested, are my favorite socks. Catherine knit them for me and they are so very comfortable, and pretty.  : )Hand Knit Socks

Photo of me, taken by Doug : )

A quick outing at the arboretum and Doug caught this photo of me : ) My blog kind of cuts off some horizontal photos, cropping it in, so this isn't exactly how Doug composed it. And this isn't a very high resolution image since I just used the ones he emailed to me. But I still like them and glad he took them of me : )

At the arboretum when it was supposed to be in the 60's but it didn't get that warm that day. In fact, this was just before sunset and we only had about 20 minutes to be there. We'd just run over a little after 4pm & then they told us it closed at sunset which was at 4:37!  At least we had a little time and we took advantage of it.

I didn't realize he was taking my picture since he was trying to be real stealth & sneaky like : )

Clock in Candlelight

Catherine had made me this candle, unscented LED and it looks so pretty I thought I'd take this photo. I'd just gotten a new lens and wanted to check out the low light capabilities, turning out the lights & using the candle for the light. 

Morton Arboretum getting close to dusk

Here's a picture late in the fall day, I think after the Arboretum was closed to newcomers but still open to those of us meandering about. Talked to the guys there on the bridge. One of them was feeding the fish down below.

Morton Arboretum again...fall colors.

Morton Arboretum Fall Photo-Meadow Lake

Another colorful photo from a nice sunny day at Morton Arboretum. This was very late in the afternoon.

Leaves turning, warm weather, another jaunt around & about Morton Aboretum. This one is of Meadow Lake. We got some exercise walking around it several times, along with some others trying to take advantage of the nice sunny day.
