Rockefeller Greenhouse Christmas Display, 12/26/10
Some photos from our Boxing Day trip to the Greenhouse. Gorgeous display of an amazing variety of poinsettias. It's so nice to smell green living things during the winter. The cute guy below is Chuck. Even though I've taken his picture a 1000 times, he's still willing to smile (usually!).

Cookie Meditation, 12/23/2010
Today is Russian Teacake Day. I’m rolling dozens and dozens for my brothers for Christmas. Somehow, the repetitive cookie rolling put me in a kind of meditative trance. I thought about my Dad, and grandparents, and the aunts and uncles we’ll miss at Christmas, wondered if tutoring Math, English, or Biology would be a good retirement project. And all the things I have to be grateful for - my brother’s surgery went well, he and his wife will be at the family Christmas celebration, Chuck’s promotion, even the little things, the smell of baking and butter, pretty Christmas decorations, making vegan stuffing for Matt, Tabitha and me. Good morning, good day.

Heron, Falls at Peninsula Trailhead
Busy Christmas season so far. I'm having friends over for a holiday brunch tomorrow. Chuck's making french toast, I'm making mimosas and quiche. Should be fun!

LightRoom 3
Looking toward the Towpath bridge from the Peninsula trailhead, Thanksgiving week.
This is the first image I edited in LR - just loaded the software yesterday. It has presets to size and upload photos to flickr and facebook, so cool! Still looking for a preset to upload to Blogger.
We got to leave work early today, due to the horrendous weather, so I get to watch LR3 videos and catch up on Christmas stuff.

More Shots for Life on the Towpath
These are from Thanksgiving week. It was pretty drizzly most of the week. Nice though, because the overcast and water helped to intensify color and moodiness.
The first four photos are going north from the Peninsula trailhead (Lock 29), the last one was just south of the Boston store, under the 271 bridge. Used the circular polarizer on all of these. The vignettes were added in Photoshop Elements.
