Christmas and Snow 2010

Fun camera effects with one of those lawn reindeer

Inn in Dillsboro, NC

Picture perfect little mountain town in snow

Favorite breakfast place in Asheville...gotta get there early :)

Favorite cup of tea at Over Easy...lemon, honey, ginger....

Christmas cookies...a.k.a. weight gain

Mini snowmen in Falls Park Greenville.  It snowed Christmas day!

Falls Park....a little snow





Pretty sunset after a day playing in the snow

Chicago and Indianaplis



Fields of windmills generating electricity...very cool



Toll Road to Chicago from Indiana

Looking down on Michigan Avenue from the Allerton Hotel

Yum, yum, yummy

Fun effect with leftover Christmas lights on a downtown fountain

View from the John Hancock Bldg., probably the clearest moment in Chicago



A boat on Lake Michigan in the fog...can't tell where the lake ends and the sky begins



Just a cool hole in the wall at the Cheescake Factory

Art outside of the Indiana State Museum, each color swings in the wind

Indianapolis State Museum

Sky Top Orchard- October 2010

First stop....fresh, warm, apple cider doughnuts....mmmmmm

Off to explore.

Where are those darn apples?  Unfortunately a hot summer forced many of the apples to ripen earlier than usual, so most of the apples were already picked from the trees. 

Found a bird's nest!

World's smallest apple :)

The bamboo forest at Sky Top.  So calm and fun to explore.

Who's the most gorgeous chicken around?  Oh....it's me, of course!

Sweet bunnies.

I love pink lady apples (above) and honey crisp (already ripe and sold out).

Falls Park, Greenville

 Most of the fountains downtown were colored pink during October in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  Looks like cotton candy with the longer shutter speed.

The view from under the bridge over the Reedy River.  I love the curve of this suspension bridge.

Slightly downstream from the bridge.  Lots of big rocks for sitting, climbing, and exploring.

                     

Should've brought the tripod :)
