Yay! More winter!

Here are my snow boots. They were my mom's a million years ago.....

I waited for 30 minutes  for my bus today. I am actually happy it was late. It gave me a chance to see the ice crystals on the plants near by! These look better on Instagram @jessies6005 to see them.

This is not the bus stop with the cool plants.  Mom and Dad, check out the stop ID number!

Have a good night!!

January 8th, 2017

Oh, hi there! I just wanted to let you know that I clawed my way out of the 2016 abyss and am ready to finish what I started.

2017 has started off alright, the most awesome thing is my photography is being featured at the West Linn Library, in West Linn, Oregon. I was supposed to have a reception today, but the Mother Nature decided that I needed to stay home instead. It snowed yesterday and today was an all day freezing rain fest.......

I have rescheduled my reception for January 29th. If  you are around come take a look. If you aren't here let me show you what you will be missing. And snacks, you will miss snacks too.

I thought this photo would be bigger.......

I did go out and brave a death trap to find some icy photos.

Not Kidding...... DEATH TRAP!

The stairs did hold some interesting texture.

The Fit is not Go. It is stay put until this clears up......

I might have not taken the best photos today. I am sure there were lovelier things to see, but on my walk about I nearly fell 20 times, so I had to look at my feet the whole time......

That is all to report today, I will see you again tomorrow!

Have a great night!

I know you are all missing Inky..... You can follow her on Instagram: @msinkyjones

While your at it you should follow me too: @jessies6005  I share my photos, other art I create, and  other instagrammy stuff!

It rained last night, that isn't new, but it was freezing rain, that made the morning more interesting.

I'm ready to face the cold!

November 13th, 2014

Today was cold. Crazy cold for November in Portland. Oh and I love freezing rain.... the leaves make a neat clacking sound when the wind blows them together.

Here is a neat spider web that manged to not get blown away today.  

 Also this started happening a lot after my lens came home. Needless to say it is back at the doctor. Sigh.....

hope you have a great night!

And in other news... It is still winter....

What? I'm not cold.... What would make you think that?

December 3rd 2013

It was freezing today.... But then my mom texted me that I was 16 degrees and snowing in Riverton and I was happy to be in Seattle where is was 34 degrees.....

I thought I would make a comparison to a flash and a nonflash photo with my Elph. I did change the angle a bit so I guess it isn't a true comparison.... It is very interesting how different the colors are. I remember them being more like the bottom photo.

Here is the random object I found on my walk to work. It is so odd to see one shoe. I bet the person who lost it is very sad.

It was made very clear to me that I wasn't going home tonight after work. She didn't want to get off my bag. Poor Inky didn't want to be left alone again!

This is a very silly photo. On my walk home I discovered that my head lamp makes an animal's eyes shine. Then I got to the corner and saw this.

I almost jump out of my skin. Turns out they aren't glowing red eyes.... there are more Christmas around the side of the fence.


Hey look I am clean!

These next photos were taken by my Dad, Dane Swimeley. These are the Thanksmas photos!
