Christmas morning breakfast

Yes people, this is what I normally eat when I first wake up. I like to have sweets with my coffee. You have to realize that I wake up 3 or 4 in the morning so I have no time to make breakfast, therefore I improvise and eat cookies or cake. Then, sometimes I'll have a regular breakfast at 9 or 10.

Writing on the cup

One of the ladies at work owns this cup. 

"Woe to those who fail to heed the writing on the cup!"

Railroad tracks

No idea why i took this picture, but I did. I think it gives me that feeling of "infinity and beyond".

1940 Chevrolet

Saw this boss looking car and had to get a photo. The owner was generous and let me take a couple of pixs. Unfortunately, it was parked in the open and the sun was blaring down on it. But I did manage to salvage one photo and with PS help, created this image.

Ana's Cafe

A little Mexican restaurant that I like to go to has a mural inside. I liked the mural so naturally I took some photos, with the owners permission. Their food is good and they make a variety of dishes.

Another gorgeous morning

The picture says it all!

Cones cones.

Went for a walk last week and saw these cones. I guess they want to make sure no one misses the plywood on the grass.

Trains & Toys

My little grandson , Noah, likes Thomas the train and my VW van. So, the company that I work at had this Santa showcase in the building entrance. I found Thomas, VW van and a caboose and put them together. Now it looks like a complete train set with Thomas at the head and a caboose at the rear with a van in the middle.

Fall leaves effects

Some weird effects from Photoshop on fall leaves.

 

Shadows

I really like this photo, especially how the shadows give life to it. 

Photo taken at Santana Row.



Fall Colors at Work

The company that I work for is located in in one of several buildings that encircles an outdoor atrium. The atrium has many flowers and trees and also a water fountain. I  took this picture last week because  I like the fall colors that are being displayed

 

Crepuscular Rays

I was driving home yesterday morning and noticed this light show coming from my right side. I swerved my  van drove up a couple side streets until I came to an empty lot and took these pictures. I'm glad I had my good camera and not my instamatic.

A couple days ago, I was at a shopping mall and they had this school bus in the parking lot.They were selling rides for some school function. I totally could see me coming to school in this.

My little princess likes the music in the movie 7 Wives for 7 Brothers. In this video, she displays her prowess for picking up music steps and then performing them.
