I love the way the tree shadows fall across the snowy field. This beautiful scene is in Delaware at the historic Hale-Byrnes House. Who is Hale you ask? More information can be found here: www.halebyrnes.org/history.html Apparently General George Washington held a war council here before the Battle of the Brandywine which was held in Chadds Ford, PA.

Today my DS came to school and spoke to some middle school students about how to prepare for a career in video game design. He was nervous, but did a great job explaining what he is doing and learning at Full Sail. Middle school kids ask funny questions. He did share some of his own work and some for a new game company he and a few friends are creating. He is happy, so that is the best.

No the snow didn't last a day, but this spinach looks so good I had to publish this one too. I guess this is frozen veggies!

While shopping Macy's I happened upon this iPod vending machine. It just seems to be a funny location for a vending machine. I have seen these in the airport but never in a clothing store!! It is located between the men's department and women's petite!

Our school has some classrooms without windows. like mine. When I went to dismiss my homeroom at the end of the day I thought they were kidding when they told me it was snowing and there was about 1 inch on the ground. It was just enough to make people drive slowly on their way home. Thank goodness. This car definitely needs two new tires. Merry Christmas.

Our students are very generous giving toys and items for local needy families. There is a very long cafeteria table out of the picture that is covered with very large collection of toys as well.

This is one of my favorite tech tools. I can plug 5 USB items in to one port on the computer. It allows me to keep one or two things plugged in all the time too! Not bad for $$7.99.

As much as I would like to say that I drew this, I did not. It is another special effect applied to a photo from my iPhone app, CameraFun. Yes, it really is fun!

First frost of the season! This little pond is located behind my church and often is filled with Canada geese. I guess it was too cold for them today. It is very windy too. Perhaps they found a corn field that had some protection for them. The top of this water is frozen.

I fear this little piggy will end up in someone's basement! It is a compost bin to be used by our students with their outdoor garden. Yes, it is connected to the tree, but I'll bet not for long. You can see in the foreground that the spinach is still plentiful.

My new app for the iPhone called Camerafun has many different effects including this Avatar type of coloring!

Have I mentioned how much I love my new camera! This combined with the Eye-Fi card is so smooth. No more fumbling with the card reader to get the photos transferred. Next time I take a close up like this, I will have my nails done first! Effortlessly uploaded by Eye-Fi

Look like I need a new sign. Someone likes to play tic tac toe too. Our art teacher is a fabulous calligrapher and makes signs each year for teachers. I can't remember when mine was redone. Mr Walsh has been here 12 years, so I guess they have been on that spot on the wall for 12 years! LOL. Effortlessly uploaded by Eye-Fi

Even though I have 100's of photos of Lucy, I was practicing using my new Eye-Fi card. It takes the images and instantly uploads them to the site of your choice! Mine go here to Flickr of course!

As we were walking through the Philadelphia Airport, I noticed this cool image. ATT ads have several interesting pieces of artwork painted on skin. Orlando had one with ancient Egyptians, as in hieroglyphs, holding an ATT phone. Look closely and you will see that this is really a pair of hands holding the phone, not the Great Wall of China. Excellent ad, except that the art is more interesting than the phone or company!

Celebrating 60 years of marriage, my parents cut the cake mady by my sister, Kim and decorated by many! It was a wonderful evening with their friends and 17 of our family members. The food was delicious, the company fun and many memories were created.

This is a thistle tatoo from my cousin Kammie's foot. She decided that she wanted a tatoo, and chose the thistle to represent that she is Scottish. Nice idea.

Our small GPS activity begins on the blacktop and wanders all over the field here at school. This was done with all 8th grade geography classes and the kids had a blast.

During our GPS activity today, the grounds crew decided to spread manure on the football field. The students adjusted and just walked around the work in action. It was a great day to be outdoors and the kids enjoyed the activity. Each station had a collage of natural resources for the students to record. For a 45 minute period, students were able to visit 6 different stations. The follow up class will be to do a writing activity about the resources their group gathered.

Burying a winter treasure. This little guy ran all over my front lawn until he found just the right place to dig a hole and place his winter food supply safely hidden.

Took the dog for a walk around the neighborhood and of course I took the camera! At first I thought this was milkweed, but looking closer I noticed a star-like seed. Pretty whatever it is.

Didn't mean to, but my flash went off. This is the best of the three shots I took. The others have dark all over the tree. I never thought to use the flash outdoors on a sunny day, but it helped to light this tree and the inside of the woodpecker hole. I am actually on top of a 40' tower and this tree is right next to the tower! But no bird in the hole. Maybe next time.

Our FCS students created and planted 16 raised gardens in September and their rewards are ready! Spinach, onions, radishes, Swiss chard, and lettuce are abundant here. The food is grown by the students and given to the Chester County Food Bank for distribution to needy families. When winter arrives, the growing will move indoors to the greenhouse seen in the background.

These shovelers paddle across the main pond at Bombay Hook stopping to feed on the critters under the surface of the water. It is quite funny to see all of their little bottoms up in the air while they feed.

There were birds everywhere at Bombay Hook Wildlife Refuge in Delaware today. These egrets walked pretty close to the car almost posing for the camera. Sometime in the next 3 weeks the population of wildlife will reach almost a million migrating birds and wildfowl in the ponds and reeds of the marshes.

This week will probably be the end of the leaves on the trees. The wind is kicking up and rain is forecast. This is a sweet gum tree in the yellow.

I thought this was an aphid, but upon a closer examination, well I am not sure what it is now. But the plant is milkweed and is in the meadow in my yard. The seeds are ready to blow away soon.
