Happy New Year

I did not  reach my goal of 50 followers to Delaware Views.  Bah Humbug...oh right that's Christmas.
But I did add two more and I did make a nice connection with the Bucks County Herald.  Unlikely to result in an increase in my personal economy but fun to see my images in a newspaper I enjoy reading. 

Another goal I failed to achieve was seeing 139 on the scale.  I started with Georgiann about a month ago at 149.7...YOW.   Lucky for me I can set this goal anew. Have I told you about "Loose It"? Maybe in a review.

My goal for the blog is to organize my days in views and chews and news and hues and clues and things anew, all for you.

It is with this sentiment that I offer you a greeting.  The colorful background is Christmas lights on a tree, taken with Olympia Omde  set with a very slow shutter speed and some intentional camera motion.  Font in CS3

 

May you be healthy and full of joy today and tomorrow and every tomorrow after that!

Delaware Views In The News

On occasion I have the pleasure of adding to my favorite links list new places where my work is published.  I am now pleased  to include the Bucks County Herald to the list.  I made the last page in the last issue.  That makes me giggle.  The funny thing is that I picked up the paper and looked through the whole thing and missed it on the last page.  Dan the proprietor of Seasons Garden Center, also a favorite link, had to tell me and thank me after seeing it.  That's Dan's sister up in the bucket raising the holiday lights on the Washington Crossing Park Tree. 

Dressing the Tree

I don't really like the idea of cutting trees down from the outside and bringing them inside. In fact, in my house, we have been known to refer to this activity as  TREE SACRIFICING.  Here in my home town, the Washington Crossing-Yardley Kiwanis Club funds the lighting of a big tree in the park at the intersection of River Road (32) and General Washington Memorial Blvd (532).  This year it was getting a new dress of lights fitted by the friendly folks at the Seasons Garden Center, and I just happened by. Not enough can be said about right time, right place.  I submitted a few to the Bucks County Herald.  I'll have to keep watch to see if I get in.
