Morning!

Going to be a quick post today. :)

My daughter does chainmail jewelry. She created these two pairs this week. She's upped her game. These are made with super tiny rings! Aren't they gorgeous? Blows my mind. :)

We have a red leafed tree in our yard. It goes through a transition very fast once it flowers. It's so quick, I've missed it before. :P Thought I would share three different moments from 2016 so you can see what it does. I LOVE the cute little blossoms. :)

The in between stage - half flowers half leaves.

The final stage - mostly leaves. :) And all this before spring is even officially here! 

Have an awesome day!

Greetings!

Sharing my own stuff this week. :)

Is this not the cutest thing ever? So cute!

Sunrise season is back!

Another odd unintended effect that came out looking neat! (And it looks like I have myself on square setting. DOH)

Looks very sharp?

Very unusual clouds on this day. Almost looks like chainmail! 

Gorgeous blooms, but they go so quickly! Glad I caught them this year. :)

Hit the jackpot this morning! Look at those colors! 

Works even better when I'm not in the car. :P Aren't those purples lovely?

Softer hues on the left side. :)

More pics in the album, if you want to see more. Feel free to comment or add a rating. 

Have an awesome day!

Morning all!
Haven't tortured you with my own stuff in a few weeks. Heh heh

In Richardson, one of the apartment complexes had added pepper plants to brighten up the little park area. A bunch of these together proved incredibly colorful! 

Just look at those vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows! What a neat idea!

These are always so neat looking. And green! Unlike my yard...

The latest from my daughter aka ChibiChains - a chain sphere. A week later, she'd finished one 4 times the size. Oooh!

Sunset drive by! Huh, hubby needs to clean his windows. Boo!

More dirty windows. DOH!

The clouds were cool this day. But didn't want themselves captured. And look at that bright spot. Did I inadvertently pick up a UFO?

You can see it on the far left again. Dirty window? Reflection? UFO?

I was trying to catch the cloud formation which looked liked migrating birds. Showed where the stronger wind current was pushing them around. Oh well...

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

No Monday post...
Had computer drive issues over the weekend. :(
Got a new drive with RAID but now have to baby the other to get the files on it off and hope it doesn't go totally belly up before I do. Eek!

Anyway, some pics!

The canals at Las Colinas.

Some lovely European style buildings there.

The sky is ever changing

I'm always trying for that sun through the trees look. lol.

Some beautiful and colorful flowers. Saw these a lot as a kid

This one looks like I've done something to it, doesn't it? But I didn't. Came out weird all on its own. Heh heh

The sushi chef at Wasabi and Wok went all out this day. It was so adorable!!!

Weird lamp - but the layered things looked interesting.

It allowed for a weird photo like this one. :)

 Have an awesome day!

Gotta run! Enjoy!

Actually got to take my own pics last week! Woot!
(Been a while)

Some beautiful flowers planted at the work annex. What's really neat is when I get there in the morning, these are all wrapped up. But in the afternoon, they're all open and looking lovely.

Decided to try a funky angle view of the fountain in our parking lot. :P

More awesome flowers outside our building.

Had to go to a doc appointment last week and the sky looked so amazingly bizarre I took pictures. I was heading in the direction of the mess, so made for some cool stuff.

The dark was very dark.

Loved this weird striation. Think of how a split roof looks when they have a shelf for indirect lighting. And this line went from one side of the open sky to the other.

You can see the weird diffused lighting effect and the line of it very clearly in this one.

Too cool for school! 

Very turbulent skies this week.

New construction by Stone Briar Mall. No idea what this is. It looked like a giant announcement set up, but it's more than likely some kind of giant air-conditioning system. They had huge round fans on the ground.

Have an awesome rest of the week!
