Wanderings

This weather has been really depressing.  The cold makes it difficult to stay outside for too long. Last week it wasn't too terrible outside, so I did manage to snap a few interesting things.

I used to love winter and I couldn't wait for it to roll back around again.  The past few years, I have slowly started to enjoy the other seasons.  With all the layering that we have to do in the winter, it's no wonder people have aches and pains.  I know that when I get ready to go out, my neck is hurting before I even leave the house because all the layers are restricting my movements.  I like this shot because normally, the people are the ones in the colorful outfits and the walls are drab looking and this is the opposite of what you normally see.  I found this to be an interesting twist on things.

Speaking of opposites, this was taken on the same day as the picture above.  I know that we're all anxious for warmer weather and when we get a day that isn't as cold as the rest, we get tempted to rush things, but this is how you get sick.  It wasn't so nice outside that you could strut your stuff down the street, half dressed, or undressed depending on how you look at it.

This was also taken last week.  I love this shot because I wasn't even looking for it.  I had just changed the settings on my camera and was about to take a test shot when this father and daughter happened to walk ahead of me.  At first I was going to wait until they had passed, but then I noticed how adorable they looked together.  I titled this one "Mini Me".  Every little girl is a daddy's girl and it's even cuter when they are dressed alike.
