I had to pick up the car registration sticker thing this morning. Joel took me there on his way took work since it is registered to me he couldn't just do it himself. He had to run off fast to work so, I walked home. The License office is only about a mile away from the house, so it wasn't a big deal. It also gave me a chance to see new sights in the neighborhood.

Like this shoe.... it is much more colorful then the other shoe I walk by,

and a red glove in a tree,

Some rusty things,

and two little tiny trees grown out of a tree stump.

The sights didn't stop there! On my way to work there was this thing,

And flowers!

Then when I got to work there was this face to greet me!

and then she did this

Good night!

Thanks Panda Express for a fortune that is actually worth something! I feel that it is an accurate statement, I am feeling much more secure in many ways and we are definitely prosper a bit.

On my walk today it was a random object smorgasbord!
First, this cart was pretty lost... I don't even know where a "Food Emporium" is.......

Then there was a tea cup...... I bet some on is missing it.... If it is still there in the morning I will give it a new home.

I had a feeling when I passed by this shoe I had photographed it before... I did... On December 3rd..... but then it was under a tree.... not almost on the road.... I wonder why I haven't noticed it again, before today?

Finally, I found some headphones in a tree.....

At work my nephew left one of his mittens. Inky consented to wear it for a moment.

Louie, however, didn't like the idea at all.....

So, Inky and I had a warm fuzzy moment..... heavy on the fuzzy!

It is supposed to snow tonight. I am glad because that means it will be getting warmer! It will also give me something interesting to photograph in the morning.

Today, I was lazy and didn't walk. It was the last cold day in the forecast. I am okay with that.

Inky helped with the Christmas decorations at work.

I made some broccoli risotto tonight. I made up the recipe, well I used the cauliflower risotto recipe as a base. I think it turned out to be pretty delicious.

Here are my new running shoes, okay, I guess it is just one shoe. That means I need to get my buns in gear and start running again....

This is the plant that is supposed to move in with  my friend Sarah, but I always forget to bring it to her when we meet up.

                    My tea is poison....

not really.....                                    

Finally, cuddles with Molly!!

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!

I took my car in to the shop today for an oil change, general maintenance, and a recall fix. They said it would take 3 hours so Joel and I decided to walk over to 196th street to go find some food. We didn't think it would be too much of a walk since were were at 220th street. We were wrong. We walked THREE miles to find some food... and then three miles back to get my car. It was quite the adventure.

See... the first thing we saw on our walk was an old ear of corn in a discarded shoe.

Then there was a spider drinking water. She collected the dew in her web into a ball. It was the strangest thing to watch. I guess I didn't ever think about a spider needing a drink.

 This is a different spider. There were about a dozen of them on the bush.

Here i am with my 50D.

And the last bit of weird. When we got back to the Honda dealership this dog with there. Her name is Daisy.
