December 13, 2006 - Pendleton Lake
Unusually warm today with highs near 60. This type of weather is supposed to continue for a few days (saves on the heating bill). I was manning my photo booth today so I needed to pull one out of reserve from the Pendleton Lake area of Blackwater Falls State Park.

December 12, 2006 - Sunrise on the Kanawha River
Cold this morning with lows in the 20's, but expecting highs today of 60 and mostly sunny skies. Yet another beautiful sunrise this morning, and I hurried out after I got to work to take this shot of the sunrise. This is located right about the Capitol building, looking east toward Kanawha City.

December 11, 2006 - Junco (I think)
Moderating temperature today and bright sunshine. Expecting highs in the 50's. I went out walking this morning and saw this little fellow (I think he's a junco). He didn't hold still for very long, so I only got one shot of him. This was it.
December 10, 2006 - Brushy Creek
Cold this morning, with lows in the teens, but warmed up nicely into the 50's. After church today I spent most of the rest of the day peddling my photos. I had a good day doing that, but didn't to get to do any photographing. So here's another that I took this fall of Brushy Creek.
December 9, 2006 - Remembering Summer
Very cold this morning with temp of 11f. Warmed up well today though, with highs in the mid 40's. We spent a busy day Christmas shopping, and then there was the minor auto accident that occurred in the Kmart parking lot this evening. So I didn't get to do any shooting today, so I pulled this one out of my "to do" folder.

December 8, 2006 - A belated tribute
Very cold this morning, with temps in the teens. Expected to warm all the way into the upper 20's this afternoon. The sun has been out some this morning, though, and a bright blue winter sky. I missed getting this shot yesterday, but believe we all owe a debt of gratitude for the brave men who gave their lives 65 years ago yesterday at Pearl Harbor. This bell is from the SS West Virginia, which was destroyed on that day.

December 7, 2006 - Winter has arrived
Snow showers today with dropping temps. It's already down into the 20's. Since the winter storm blew in here earlier today, I decided to try a few winter shots, even though it's still snowing and windy. It let up long enough for me to get this one.

December 6, 2006 - Sadie
Bright, sunny, but breezy day with temps in the 50's. However, our first measurable snow is predicted for tomorrow. I was manning the craft booth today, but got a chance to take this one of my friend's dog to be placed on a calendar.

December 5, 2006 - Peek a Boo Sparrow
Bright and cold today with highs in the low 40's. I noticed these sparrows hiding in the hedges, so I waited until this one stuck his head out.
December 4, 2006 - Checking for Pods
Cold today with snow flurries this morning and some sunshine this afternoon. I've been very busy today, but posted these seed pods that I happened upon.

December 3, 2006 - Madison Ready to go to church
Partly cloudy today with highs in the mid 40s. Expecting snow flurries tomorrow. I took this one of Madison as she was ready to go to church. She didn't do very well at church today, because she wants to get in the pulpit with her Pap Paw.
December 2, 2006 - Mail Pouch Barn
Clear, breezy and cold today, with highs in the low 40's. Expected to get down into the teens for the first time this winter tonight. I ran my photo booth part of the day today, and had church this evening, so I didn't get to do anything with my camera today. So I posted this one I took early in the fall of a Mail Pouch barn located near my son's home.
