    Its, Friday morning. Temperature at 6:00 this morning was 3 degrees, almost 8 degrees now. Enjoyed a beautiful pink sunrise on my drive to the coffeehouse. Christmas is a week away but shopping is done. It’s time to relax and sip on a hot cup of coffee and with a book. Stay warm and have a super weekend!

    … at her favorite coffeehouse. This image was taken Saturday at a favorite coffeehouse. I just love the lighting on her face and her expression. It was just beginning to snow, bringing us about 4 inches of accumulation. Sunday morning was cold. It was 14 degrees by the time I walked to the coffeehouse. A fresh snowfall is so beautiful as nature takes on it’s winter artistry. Stay warm!

    You only know your true strength in times of hardship, for no man ever became strong by doing nothing.

    I used the black and white film simulation for this jpeg. I’ve been playing with the different film simulations in the Fujifilm X-E1 to see how they look.

    I find these gentlemen interesting. They come in each morning around 7:30, fill their mugs and sit at the same location in the loft. Each has a paper to read. They read then share the articles they find, always coming up with a solution for our world troubles. Maybe we should listen to them!

    “Old books exert a strange fascination for me — their smell, their feel, their history; wondering who might have owned them, how they lived, what they felt.” ― Lauren Willig

    “Those who live in gratitude, see beauty even in the smallest gift, they see life as a miracle opening up before them.”

    Some people have no problem walking up to strangers and asking for a photograph. I find it difficult to do but every once in a while I generate enough courage to ask. Bob Dien, and others, find this easier to do than I do. Anyway here is Erika’s Shoes. Thanks, Erika!
