A Cold Morning
Coffee and a Book 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!

Studytime
… 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!

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.

Three Amigos
Retired Amigos 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!

Vintage Books at The Bean Cycle “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

Erika’s Shoes
High Heels “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!
