A Pre-Christmas Trip to the Distillery District

Last weekend, Daniel & I took a little jaunt down to the Distillery District...YES, there again!

Of course, I took a few pics along the way, and more on the way back. For a change, I managed to restrain my enthusiasm, and took only a few pics while there. I will admit, however that it wasn't merely my moderation, but also the HUGE crowds of people there for a wonderfully era-appropriate Christmas Festival, complete with carnival rides, a giant Christmas tree in the main square, surrounded by carolers, and a myriad of booths selling everything from hot cider, to wooden handcrafted holiday decorations.

A wonderful atmosphere to browse through, but a difficult one in which to take photos, and exhausting for me, in my still-recovering state.

That said, here are the photos of our little trek.

Hope you all enjoyed!

Long Time, No Update

It's been a while... too long actually! Sorry everyone, but I've been on sick leave from work. That should leave me lots of time for working on the blog, but my energies have been largely spent in some much-needed r&r time for my well-being. But, that said, I have indeed been taking some pics, and more will follow shortly.

Here are some that I've taken the past few weeks, as the last of autumn fades to the beginning of winter. Some of them seem to have a recurring theme, one most prominent in my pics from this time of year, as well as in the pre-spring season. That theme is "Life out of Death". This time of year, we watch as Mother Nature seems to die off, but within that "death" we see the seeds of new life to come.

Come, take a look at what I mean...
