Field house and Track of Cooper High School

I've never seen this side of this school, so I was pleasantly surprised when I came upon this view.  It would have made a MUCH better image if there had been a runner or two going around the curve, but there wasn't a soul to be seen when I was there.

I love the curve of the track, and the field house and bleachers really put it into perspective.

My heart is grateful for:

the beautiful cool temps today with the brilliant sun

It's cold here, very cold.  When I made this image it was -32, but fortunately there was no wind.  The snow was crunchy, a sound I love even though I don't love snow, the air was crisp and it was the middle of the 4 hours of daylight so the light was really lovely.  

Now that it's Dec 22, daylight will last longer each day until it's light for 23 hours/day.  What a difference.

It's Monday

Some friends and I have started another blog on Wordpress (expressyourselfwithphotos.wordpress.com)

At the moment there are three of us participating and we each have one day a week when we're supposed to post at least one photo.  Monday is my day, and for the first time since we began, I remembered and actually posted.

I despaired this morning of finding an image, but as I sat in my living room and looked at the windows with the sun shining for the first time in many days, I noticed the shadows and knew I had discovered my image of the day.

The I started playing around with another object and came up with this next image.

It was such a beautiful day outside I finally decided to take a drive and see what I could see.  I didn't expect much since I took the exact same route I've taken so many times before when I've come home with nothing.

But today was a little different.  All the leaves on these particular trees are gone and the sun was low in the sky so the light was beautiful.  There's just something about the bare trees in the Fall...
