Hooray the sun!

Less than a month into "longer-day mode" and I am pleased to find the sun available for my morning drive to work.  Having a bit of sunshine in my day makes all the difference.

The good news is the worst is behind me. The new year brought me a cold that has taken almost two weeks to shake. Consequently I have not been very motivated to take photos or to post to my blog... or even to notice the everyday beauty around me.

But as of today things are looking up.

Hope you have a happy, healthy, and productive 2015.

Enjoy

Enjoy, but do it safely. Happy New Year!

A cold morning and a dusting of snow. Christmas is only a week away.

Glass

Believe it or not this is glass. A piece created by Dale Chihuly, the rock star of the art glass scene. The close-up shot (the object is about three feet in diameter) clearly demonstrates that glass can take almost any form and be beautiful, if not a bit erotic.

The object is on display at the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York. It is a place that only seems to get better with each visit. A unique mixture of art, history, architecture, science, technology, demonstration and more. They are presently working on yet another expansion that will be uniquely almost completely glass... walls, roof and all. It will glow inside during the day and glow outside at night. I am looking forward to visiting again in the spring.
