GRAY
We had snow on Thursday night here in Chicago, and Friday morning althought beautiful, the scene was very gray.

GLIMPSE

CROSSED
With the beginning of lent, this is what came to mind.

BLISS
Can be different on any given day, today, it was a Skinny Mocha

HANDWRITTEN
Not much is handwritten these days, and there was nothing of interest around my house, except a bit of history from a book, JOHN ADDAMS, with a copy of the first letter he wrote to his wife Abagail from the then White House.  I think the art of writing letters by hand is slowly becoming extinct.

DUPLICATE
This is my Indican Chief and I think he is quite a creation.  Some years ago I was looking for a Christmas Gift for my husband, and I was driving to the mall in Virginia where we lived at the time.  At a corner gas station there was a man and his pick up truck and a chain saw with large logs.  This man made carvings in the logs with his chain saw and we thought it was great.  So Indian Chief became a part of the family and we have carried him with us through the years.

LOVE
The Valentine Flowers my hubby sent to me at work for Valentine's Day.  I really didn't expect anything so they were a great surprise.  We will celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary this year and it's nice to know LOVE is still in the air.

PAPER
Japanese Paper Lantern

PLASTIC
Ok, I just couldn't think of anything really creative for this one, so here you have "plastic"

TREND OR TRENDING
It is Fashion Week in New York, and that brought to my mind, what is Fashion "Trending" this week here in Chicago.

STRIKE A POSE
I have a hard time with self portraits, but I continue to try to be more comfortable with it.  I did not like the shadow in this one, but sometimes time just runs out.  Helpful hints would be appreciated.
