There’s many a slip…

Today the choice was teacup – and looking back it was nice for a change not to worry about the proportions of an organic subject.
I have practice with inanimate, or man-made, shapes.

Here we see LaGrande holding the handle on her left and Biscotti on her right.
TheWeeOne is preparing to take a bite out of a very large marshmallow from our huge cup of snocoa.

...'twixt the cup and the lip.

Thanks be to Snowpocalypse 2010

It is no secret…I like snow.
I don’t regularly ski, I don’t snowboard, I don’t tend to drive in the snow – but it’s fun.

Snow is a game changer, especially in Seattle, and I tend to like change; keep doing things differently, testing, trying.

I like the fact that snow shuts down, or changes, normal operation…no school.
I like the fact that snow makes us appreciate the small conveniences we take for granted…grocery stores.
I like the fact that snow makes things quiet…like a pillow.
I like the fact that snow breaks your fall…when you plop.
I like the fact that snow makes things slippery…when you sled.

I wouldn’t have any of these memories, these pictures, and the same holiday week without snow…and we never even left the house.
This set of pictures is my way of saying thanks to, and for, the world with snow.
