As the world tilts back.......

I think that December 21st was when the earth actually started to make it's tilt back up.  This is taken looking southeast and the sun seems low.  That is because it is winter and we are far away from the sun while South America is very close to the sun. The sun will eventually be far enough up in the sky that it won't shine in the south window.

A birch tree beauty.......

I owned a property in Minnesota and dug this  birch tree out of the ditch along the road.  It is standing tall and probably is 28 years old now.  Every ten years they cleared those ditches so it really is a rescued birch.

Backyard stairs........

The railing always develops wonderful snow drifts when it snows with little wind.

On my desk right now..........

I am still working with my wife to get decorations put away but we don't have a tight time schedule. We were late getting them up so I am still finding a few to photograph.

This soldier guy is really fun.  I didn't get the mallard ornament hung this year as it just sat next to my computer screen.  The photo in the back is this neat drawing that I bought from one of my wife's close blogger friends who is also an artist from Texas.  Vernita Bridges Hoyt is the artists and I bought her drawing over ebay last year.  Check out her blog right now and you can see her giving a demonstration of a Red Hat painting.

I tend to keep things on my computer screen shelf just to view and enjoy.  I eventually move them off and put up new things.

Seeing Sunshine on Friday.......

Snow is coming soon to our neighborhood.  It isn't going to be fun when the wind starts to blow. I will try to take the same view again once it  has snowed for two days.

Color my world and yours too........

Have a great day!!!!!!!

Prehistoric fish or just a koi....

The koi is keeping warm in my basement aquarium.  He and my camera were not cooperating.  It is a special effects day for photos I guess.

The koi really does have metallic qualities as it is black and gold and the light reflects off of his scales.
