It is gorgeous out today. The sun is shining, the sky is blue. I took my daughter to school in a bit late today and stopped by the historic Kings Mansion on our way home. This weather vane is on top of the old carriage house behind the mansion.
The sun tricks me into thinking that it is warm out sometimes. I had on just a fleece, no hat or gloves. After just minutes of walking around and taking photos, my hands were aching, my other daughter was crying...it was pretty miserable.
It was the first time in days that I picked up my camera. It felt so good to be with my old friend again. I had missed her:).
My get pushed challenge this week was local architecture. We don't have much in the form of large or grand buildings immediately nearby so this is it. Hope to make it downtown this week for larger scale architecture. It's been a week or more of dealing with sickness around our home, so I am ready to get out!
Omg, I love this. The horsie on top is brilliant and the colors are nice. Appreciate the metaphor too. Most of all, love the texture of the roof!!! Niiiice.
Glad you got a bit of sun, even if it was still cold! We have a gray day here today, and I've been sick the past few days, so I'm feeling very blah and need some sun and warmth to snap me out of it. Unfortunately we have three chances for snow this week. AAAGGGH. :)
@rockinrobyn The only upside to that is a snow day (though then the kids are all home all day, so...). Hope that you get some sunshine soon. I will try to send you some! Winter needs to leave the building!
@rockinrobyn P.S. Hope that you feel better soon, my friend. My kids have been on and off sick for weeks. I had one out of school yesterday. Clara has been dealing with asthma from stupid colds and then an on and off fever. Sickness needs to leave the building, too! Praying for you!
I look back to my album from March of last year and see sunny photos of blooming daffodils, fishing trips and the boys wearing shorts and/or short sleaves. What a different March this has turned out to be!
Thank you all for your great comments on my photo. I find that sometimes I pick the wrong one for my main album. This may have been one of those times, though I do really love the shot. I try to keep my album mixed up, though, so it does do that. Ahhhh, for sunny days and blue skies. Now if it will only warm up!
@mrsvanpatten@kbalychev@edie Thanks so much, my friends. I liked this one, too. I think that it was the way that seeing the blue sky made me feel. So happy for an almost end to the grayness...though it is snowing today! Sheesh!
hoping for warmer weather soon!
