Frog in Pool - Feb. 11, 2011
I took this photo last August ( 2010 ) at a friend's backyard pool. There was a frog swimming around in the pool that day. I got him out and sat him in the nearby grass. I thought of this photo today because it is so very cold this morning in northern Virginia and I am going to a regional swim meet this afternoon in our area for the local high schools. I want to think warm thoughts.

Dining Room Mantle - Feb. 4, 2011
This is a photo of my dining room mantle. The picture of the young girl was removed from behind a wall when my father was re-modeling a house we lived in when I was very young in the 1950s. She has a sad look on her face, but I've always loved this picture and carried it around with me for years. My father made the walnut frame for it.
