Picture-A-Week 2023 - Week 52

[pierces]

Pictures taken between Christmas Day and New Year's Eve 2023.

 

Use your photographic skills to bring Joy to the World so we can start the New Year happy!

 

Thanks for playing along for another year, folks. Wishing you all a happy and prosperous New Year full of travel and, of course, photos to share!

 

 

Rules: See above

That's it. This isn't a contest.

All photos taken this week are welcome (not just cruising).

Prizes will not be awarded. Discovering the joy of photography is the prize.

The idea is to get folks out using their cameras for more than vacations and toddler birthdays.

Post one. Post many. Up to you.

Have fun with your camera and share your fun with others!

Hi. We had a photo shoot at the St Louis Art Museum, focusing on architecture using the principals taught in a class by Angie McMonigal https://angiemcmonigal.com/fine-art/  .   Not something I normally shoot, but I like how she talked about looking for triangles, reflections, and shadows. We also had some snowflakes falling, but not sticking.

 

 

 

 

 

This is me! It must be very serious business! (Or I need my readers!)

2023 was a weird year for our house plants and trees. The avocado tree was almost two months late producing ripe fruit. The Blood Orange tree produced a bumper crop of oranges as usual, but they were the size of tangerines, and the tangerine tree did a passable imitation of a cumquat tree with tiny little Barbie tangerines. The grapes were pretty close to normal but were also later than usual. The Christmas Amaryllis pictured here is supposed to bloom by Christmas but has joined all the others in whatever is inspiring their procrastination. I’m sure there’s a perfectly ordinary reason for the across-the-board variance in our flora. I’m also sure that the government chose this year to announce that not all those UFO sightings were weather balloons. Hmmmm...

 

Running Late
