Warm Thoughts On a Cold Day-Bonaire


I'm been feeling cold all the time. December has been a very cold month for us. We already had our first inch of snow over a week ago and expecting something wet this coming weekend. So, I'd thought I share with you some warm thoughts and pictures from our Caribbean trip two years ago.

Is this helping you conjure up images of being in the Caribbean?

It’s Cold Outside…Fingerless Gloves!

You’ve heard me mention before that I use photography to capture and record my other hobbies like knitting.  Well, I’ve managed to use my knitting skills to knit up a pair of fingerless gloves.  These gloves come in handy during the times I’m outside taking pictures in the cold weather.  With the gloves being fingerless, I can still grip my camera and access all the buttons and take a picture without having to worry that the camera will slip through my hand.

My new gloves will keep my hands warm while I’m capturing my Kodak moments.

Oh, I can also use them at work while I’m typing in my cold office.

A Holiday with No Flash

Over the long Thanksgiving weekend, I ended up taking roughly 500 pictures.  My brother was in town and we decided to make this a photo opportunity and visit local places. 

We took the Metro and headed down to Georgetown.  Here we are at the Canal.  Georgetown Mall would be on the right and Pantagonia shop on the left.

I couldn’t resist taking a picture of this dress (window display) inside the Mall.

This picture is not as clear, but still the dress is beautiful.

We headed north on Wisconsin Avenue and I just happened to look to my left and spotted these old tracks.

Another day, we headed out to Merrifield Garden Center for another non-flash photo opportunity.
