Year in photos - Week 2

I made it through a second week! Ha, had some help from some epic sunrises early week! 'Tis the season as strong storm systems usher in great high cloud setups for great sunrise/sunsets. Enough talk.

First sunrise of the week! Monday! Waxing cresent moon at top too! Manhattan.

Waning cresent moon with Venus in close proximity (to the bottom left of the moon). Zoomed version of previous photo.

Even better sunrise on Tuesday. Manhattan.

Can you spot the hawk? Neighbors front bush! Manhattan.

Doesn't look much like December... winter wheat is green (typical) and the star is up on the nearby silo! Manhattan.

Manhattan has a hill... actually several (it sits in a valley). One has its name on it, but is hard to get from a distance... Foggy night!

One of my favorite bridges on a foggy night. Expect to see more of it! Manhattan.

Drive by this bank on a daily basis, they added some green tinted lights for Christmas. Manhattan.

Only 50 weeks to go!

A year in photos (by week) - Week 1

Everyone always does a yearly thing where it is day by day. I have wanted a reason to pick up my camera more often (when there aren't storms around) so I decided to try this. The only twist, I don't have time to post a photo a day. Therefore, I have decided to do weekly recaps from the previous week of photos. Goal is one a day. I will try to keep out the family photos, but as I get into the swing of things, I needed some starter material. Here it goes!

On our way back from Ohio, Alexander reaches for the camera. Effingham, Il hotel room.

Geese fly north, then south, then west... they are confused at sunset! Manhattan.

Rather dull sunset provides 10 seconds (literally) of excitement. Manhattan.

Kathy gave me this lego set to make while I waited for her to get prepared for our wedding. Unpacking I found it today in the state of where I left it to get married (step 24/31). Finished it! Manhattan.

Alexander is always observing... Manhattan.

There is the first week! Let's see if I can keep at it....
