Photo Disguised As A Landscape Painting

Here is another photograph of the Audumn Sky that is as pretty as any painting I've ever seen. via Things are getting back to normal and I have my first office of the year this morning. I haven't checked the list but I honestly doubt that there will be any open house tours today. Things do seem to be picking up so we'll see. I'll be back later.

Lamp Love

Ever on the lookout for the perfect reading lamp, this one is definitely a contender.You-know-who has his eye on the wing chair's fur-covered cushion. Plop me down here, give me an ottoman, and buzz me when it's spring. Love the maps too.  *

Great List ~ Best of Tech 2010

I always read 'best of 2010' lists when I see them. Glance over this one and I'm sure you'll find something of interest. I liked the second item called Dropbox and have been meaning to download it but haven't yet. But I will. Blogging about it will serve as a bookmark.When you click on the Dropbox link you'll be able to watch a video so you will understand the simple concept. It's Pure Genius! The New York Times thinks so too. They featured it last Thursday in their technology section.

Flamingo Meets Reflection

An absolutely amazing photo by Beth Goodson. She calls it "Joined at the water." It's very painterly, isn't it? I love this bird's markings reflected in the rippled water looking so much like the marbleized paper in my antiquarian books.

Lone Cottage by The Sea

You could probably break your internet habit here, right? I must admit I've enjoyed my first experience with Wi-Fi in my own home during the past weeks. Very liberating. I'm sure I'd have huge withdrawal symptoms in this cottage by the sea but I'm sure my camera would be clicking all the time. So beautiful. via Crush Cul de Sac

Sunshine on An Antique Chair

There is still a lot of snow on the ground here at the cottage but the sun is shining brightly. All the paths and walkways are perfectly melted but it will still take a while for the ground cover of snow to go away.

It's not Christmas anymore in the house. All the boxes are at the top of the attic landing but I keep finding things I missed so I'm waiting before I put them away. Since I undecorated yesterday I've already found 5 things I missed that are in a pile on the kitchen table.

I liked the way the sunlight looked this morning on my early armchair. Happy Monday. I'm looking forward to getting back to normal, aren't you?
