DOT the movie


Click here to watch the movie DOT
starring the world's smallest character.

Shot with a Nokia N8 cell phone. This smartphone has a 12MP camera with Carl Zeiss lenses. I think this is going to be my next phone.
I wasn't able to embed the movie in my blog. When you click on the link there are several fascinating short films to watch and be amazed. Anyone who sews or knits will be especially entertained.

Potting and Tool Shed

Posted on 1/11/11 at 11:11am because I couldn't resist. Don't you love this composition? I am glad for a break from gardening and have happily traded these tools for a snow shovel. And you?

Seeing Double

A beautiful image to start or end your day depending on your time zone. I've got a rather busy morning ahead with an office meeting, some broker open houses and a showing with a customer at noon. There is the added excitement of the frenzy before the snow storm that's coming. As usual, I'm running late. See you later.

Sleeping With Reindeer


Mongolian Nomad sleeping with the reindeer.
Isn't this an amazing photo? Found on Pixdaus. I'll be tucking in pretty soon myself. Goodnight.

Let It Snow, I Don't Care

I'm so glad Webster's bed his hidden behind the sofa so this garish blanket isn't the first thing you see when you walk in the room. It's a very preppy hot pink and green and Webster loves this thrift shop find. The weather people keep talking about significant snow tomorrow night but we don't care as long as there's power and dog food.

Downton Abbey on PBS

Aristocrats and servants face a changing world in the new PBS period drama Downton Abbey. This excellent Masterpiece Classic series (in four parts) follows an aristocratic British family and its servants in a drama set in the early 20th century.
Masterpiece | Downton Abbey | PBS

I watched the premier episode last night and loved it so much I just wanted to crawl inside the TV. "Downton Abbey" is all that "Upstairs, Downstairs" was, and more. It is being repeated at various times all week long or you can watch Episode One on the PBS website. This series was a huge hit in the UK, that's why the DVD is already available.

Did you see it and like it as much as I did? Please watch this series.

French Pink Limonade


This bottle is definitely a keeper after I drink the non-alchoholic contents. It's almost too pretty to open.
