The theatre at the Distillery District had some very interesting light fixtures. Here’s one over the bar.

30 Day Creativity Challenge – Day 19
…thanks to Rainee for hosting the 30 Day Creativity Challenge\
I’ve been making art with my granddaughter again and making pizza with her. I’ve always loved her free style but she does have a vision and you don’t want to tamper with that. That was clearly evident when she decided to make her pizza in the shape of a ‘stop sign’. The adults kept wanting her to add cheese to her creation but she refused and when they didn’t listen she had a melt down. Oma and Papa to the rescue. Lots of dough left over so we started again. Here are our efforts from last Sunday.

Pull Up a Seat Photo Challenge – Week 3
…thanks to XingFu Mama for hosting the Pull Up a Seat Photo Challenge
This last one is the car seat after the passenger window exploded while my husband was driving on the highway today. No one was hurt and the window has been replaced. The shop figured a truck had kicked up a stone and hit it just right to cause this kind of damage.
The Benefits of Rising Early
….quiet and the sunrise
I’m normally a night owl and don’t tend to wake before 8:00 in the morning. Today, however, I had to drive my daughter to the airport so I was up at 6:00. It was still dark when we left the house shortly after 6:30 but on my return I could see an orange line along the horizon. It was bitter cold but I decided to venture out of the car when I reached the park at the end of our street and I started to take a few shots of the sky over the lake. In the first shot you can still see the moon in the sky.
The waves and the freezing temperatures created some beautiful natural ice sculptures along the shoreline.
Just when I thought it couldn’t get better the sun actually came up over the horizon line. It was spectacular.
An Icy Morning Light
….thanks to Becky B for hosting January Squares
I had to get up very early this morning to drive my daughter to the airport. The plus side of this favour was that I was up early enough to see the sunrise. I loved playing around with different angles and was fascinated how the morning sun reflected off the icicles along the shoreline.
Back to Drawing – Days 16, 17, and 18 of the 30 Day Creativity Challenge
….thanks to Rainee for introducing me to the 30 Day Creativity Challenge
Lesson two of 2020: Words and Pictures was taught by a new instructor, Martha Rich. Our assignment is to draw or doodle a page of thoughts and pictures of things we hear and see. We are suppose to use a black brush pen and just go for it. It’s not the quality of the work that matters here but the quantity. Once I got over the insecurity of drawing without being able to erase and using such a bold marker I started to enjoy the process. Here are the first four pages from my sketch book.
Computer Light – January Squares
…thanks to Becky B for hosting January Squares
If I don’t put my computer to sleep at night the light that emanates from it keeps me awake.

On the Hunt for Joy Challenge – Week 2 – Say Cheese
…thanks to Cee for hosting On the Hunt for Joy Challenge
People are such hams when they get in front of a camera. It doesn’t take much to get people to smile but sometimes you find yourself saying ‘say cheese’. It works about 90% of the time……
…..and sometimes it doesn’t
