Kathy this is for you

 

Which do you prefer,  a single Kaliedaglobe or the collage?

I'm thinking one of these might make it into being a holiday card next year.

It Would Be So Nice

If all the individual colors of the world join together and allow the

 sum to be more beautiful than the parts.

 

 

 

I can not decide how I want to spell Kaliedaglobe, Kalide-a-globe, Kalidaglobe....

Perhaps one of the expert spelling viewers would like to make a determination for me!

Maybe I'm Having Too Much Fun

I think maybe I need to get out more. HA

I have been working hard at improving my photography skills by using my camera daily and also by experimenting with Photoshop and learning special effects.  It has been almost a full year and I think I am finally starting to leap rather than crawl

This first image was taken Jan 2 2012 at a makeup counter in Macys

and I was asked to put my camera away.  But not before the SNAP.

 

 

 

I have been an active participant on the Ugly Hedgehog

for over a full year now.  Hard to believe I have made CYBER FRIENDS

there, but it is true, I have.

One of them heard my plea for help and responded and, well,

I can now Kalide at full size rather than at Tuxpi where all images

are significantly minimized.

Thank you Andrew if you happen to see this. 

 

I love a Kaliedaglobe

 

RED is HOT!

 

and it is always fun to play in black and white.

 

 

Not to forget my friends Swede and GG

who got my on track to practicing with cut and paste!

 

as you can see I do need a little more practice....

 

Yeah....I think I need to get out more.

 

Something Special

There really is Something Special about this time of year between Chanukah and the secular New Year. Here on the east coast it is usually cold and this year we even had a nice little snow flurry to whiten things up for Christmas. Warmth is derived from family and friends...and a little bit of the bubbly.

 

Beautiful decorations and ornamentations are everywhere...I made my own.

 

 

We wake and rise with the sun.

 

Head over to the farm.

 

Start the food fest with the best ever sticky stuff.  This year made in a bundt pan

and maybe the best yet.

 

Sometimes it is the little things that bring the most pleasure.

 

This is really little and I love how each year the mini town seems to grow.

 

As the morning wanes and the sun starts to set we make our way to the next feast.  We are always greeted with smiles, delightful chatter, good food and drink.

 

 

 

Sue this last image is derived from your dining room chandelier.

So I would like to conclude by saying to all,

may your days be merry and bright.

 

 

CELEBRATE

It was a LOVELY evening

 

It did not snow and that was fine with me...

but it poured love and that is what made it such a fine evening

with a friend of over 40 years...(hmmmm should i stop counting),

her daughter and her adorable grands.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you Ruthy

 

 

Merge and Emerge

 

Day and night and the music of the wind.

 

 

Day dawns and sun sets on the Mediterranean
