I have a yarn to tell you about Christmas magic

Doesn't the snow remind you of the Holidays?

We have had some light snow the last few days - finished off today with about 6" of new throughout the town. 

(These were taken yesterday, before the 6" of new) 

This is the view from my back yard, seriously

These didn't make the abstract theme, but some added views of my new hometown :)
They were taken yesterday at about 5 Degrees Above

NON Abstract Landscape

Because this is possibly my favorite photo I have ever taken...

This is The Lexington. The snow falling caused the old-world feel and hid the town surrounding it. Love this.

Sunrise Abstract

This is the engine house for the Mt Con Mine. My grandfather and many great uncles and close family friends worked at this mine and my mom grew up across the street from this mine. It has always held a special place in my heart, and my house now looks directly up at it. I love it!

I think the hardest part will be the "recognizable" aspect of landscapes.

Spending a lot of time at Marymoor with Phoebe

Rescued dog and super moon

My friend, the canine behaviorist, saved this dog who was afraid of everything, completely unhousebroken and was covered with sooooo many fleas.  Within two weeks she is a different dog and has found a great home.  YAY.  Super moon on same friends driveway.

I Found The North Star!

Our recent camping adventure, I decided to attempt star trails. Now, I do not have the patience or time to do a bunch of editing and layering and so this was much more for fun than to create amazing works of art. I set the tripod up at 11pm, and went to bed. Woke up at 1am, on my own and pulled the camera off. This was the result...I ended up pointing it right at the north star! How neat!

Side note - the highlighting of the trees is due to the Supermoon which was WAY too much light pollution for the star trail experiment. Hoping for clear weather the coming weeks to get some more attempts going.

Playing in the Woods!
