Florida or Globes????

Laura - possibly ready to return some gifts that weren't on her list......

I just read that there is only one state in the contiguous US that does not have snow - and that is Florida, so......that must be the location of our shopper above, Laura.  As I study her now, it looks like she is coming off a party at the Golden Globes with her see-through dress and her gift bag........


I am anxious to see LaLa Land now.  They certainly did well at the Old Globs (as Jimmy Fallon advertised,) and I like both of the stars (Emma and Ryan G.) that received "best" in their lead in a musical or/and comedy.  Anyone see these yet - anxious to know what the personal review are! 

....Blowin' in the Wind.....

Have you ever noticed how snow and sand drift in very similar patterns? 

The textures created on the ground created by the wind provide a great opportunity for comparison and contrasting.  The first big contrast is the temperature.  The temperature between the picture of the rabbit in the snow and the reeds in the sand could be 140 degrees, or more, different this time of year.  It seems like a big difference for 1400 miles!

The ridges and parallel patterns in the snow and the sand are what I find so intriguing!  There are often days when the clouds take on these same patterns in the sky.  Hopefully wherever you are, you have one of these three elements (snow, sand, or clouds,) to check out these beautiful patterns!

Happy New Year!
