In Memory

 
"Sandy Hook Memorial" - 20 children, mixed media
 
 
"Sandy Hook Memorial" - 6 teachers, terra cotta

 
My prayers that no parent, no sibling, no family, no school, no community, no human ever have to face such a tragedy again.
 
Photos taken in May, 2013 at Mercy Center in Madison CT.

Moon-rise 4

 
Mickey Mouse moon
 
I tried to zoom in with my camera to get a close up picture but obviously it didn't quite work.

Moon-rise 3

 
Sorry for the graininess of this picture. I tried to adjust some of the color. Despite the graininess, I do like the star-like shine of the moon.

ABC Wednesday

Vivid Colors
 
 
 
The sunflower picture on the left is the original picture. The one on the right and the following two I played with the color, tint and brightness settings in Window Live Photo Gallery.

 



 
The picture on the left is the original and the one on the right I adjusted the color.
I also liked this black and white version but I realize it doesn't fit my title of Vivid Colors.

 
 
Check out ABC Wednesday for more "V" pictures.

Moon-rise 2

 


 
Love the reflection of the moon in the lake. Duck families out for their evening swim around the lake.

Moon-rise 1



 
 
I took these full moon pictures back in August with my old camera so I had no option on shutter speed or ISO settings. Later in the week you will see an interesting picture as I tried to zoom in closer to the full moon.

Morning Fog-rise

 
After I had posted all week beautiful sunrise pictures I took in November, the fog yesterday morning was so thick that I could just barely see the outline of the trees across the lake.
The ring you see in the picture is the reflection of my camera lens against my window.

Sunrise view from my computer.
Yes, I will admit that sometimes I get sidetracked by my view.

I am not sure how much more room there is in the yard for more Understated Christmas lights.
 
Check out ABC Wednesday for more "U" photos.

Sunday Sabboth Shalom

 
First Sunday in Advent
 
 
This tree is actually an Advent calendar with each day opening up to be an angel.
It is the tree from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Around the bottom of the tree is the Nativity scene.

 
Each Sunday during Advent I will be posting an image of one of my nativity scenes.
