Foggy Day Shoot

The other day I woke up super early--which is unheard of for me--so I grabbed my camera to see if I could find some sings of the Spring which was slowly starting to come upon us.

Spring is one of the seasons I've grown to love here, perhaps because in the Southwest we go from winter to summer with not much in between. 

The next few blog posts will include shots I took that morning.

Enjoy!

Last of the Hanna City Pics

This place was definitely grungy and there was some cool stuff to photograph. Of all the stuff I saw there, this was the most fascinating to me: 

Hope you enjoyed this collection! 

Yet More Hanna City

The stuff they left behind: 

Still More Hanna City

This place was a blast to shoot with an my iPhone. Very nitty gritty.

Hanna City Nitty Gritty

A couple more pics from my Hanna City visit:

Hanna City Visit

Drove out to Hanna City yesterday with the Peoria Flickr group to check out the Work Camp there--a series of really cool abandoned buildings. I arrived late due to a planning error on my part so I didn't get much time there but hopefully I'll get the chance to head back again soon.

Now THIS is our Punxsutawney Phil

I had an unexpected snow day today so I went out to grab some fun shots of Milo, our Beagle mix, in our yard. While I was busy focusing on him, something caught my attention out of the corner of my eye:

If there's one thing I know for certain about living in the Midwest it's this: the first sighting of a robin means Spring is just around the corner. 

Baby, It's Cold Outside

I think Winter has finally arrived in the Peoria area. If only it brought some real snow with it. That would at least make things a bit more bearable.

Suck it, crappy weather!

After another lovely, warm, extended Fall (two years in a row now!), we are currently in the throes of a nasty storm. Thankfully, much of it is going over us and landing further north but what is hitting us is pretty intense right now--lots of cold wind, blowing snow and now ice. I had to drive in it to pick up one of the kids at school. On the way home this little tree beckoned for a photo. Much to the child's chagrin, I turned the car around to get it. They always hate when I do that.

Now I'm off to curl up on the couch with some hot chocolate and a good movie.

More Fall Colors

Took the dog out for a walk a little while ago and came upon this scene:

Everything was yellow and gorgeous...Fall colors have been truly incredible this year.
