New Years Day found me (spoiler alert) wandering about an old burial ground. Wasn't totally bent on photography, although I did bring my camera. It was more about making sure I didn't spend the first day of the new year cooped up indoors. Might be partially superstitious but I feel like it's a good idea to set a proper tone going into a new year. Getting outdoors into fresh air (as opposed to re-breathing the stale furnace-heated air that's been kicking around my house since last October). Maybe adding a few K steps on my Fitbit. But above all, exercising some creativity as well as my body. Those were the motivating factors. The Universe usually takes it from there. This day was no exception as I eventually found myself contemplating this grim tableau. The area was scattered with fallen branches from a recent wind storm. The wicked kind that howl and shriek outside your windows as the air attempts to find a way in. The visual metaphor was perfect: a tangle of dead branches, shriveled leaves still clinging, dropped from the sky to land in front of the old grave markers. Could not have arranged the scene any better if I tried.

Along old partially submerged Highway 2 with ice formation along the St. Lawrence River. To the east at the horizon, the Cornwall dam.

In this scene, the latest in my Living Large series, the decorating crew paints on the royal icing and adds some ornamental trimmings on a Christmas cookie for the holiday season.

 

Merry Christmas!

With a cherry on the top!

Newly named BEAR Scotland gritter "Royal Icing" at South Queensferry.

This lemon icing is for a layered carrot cake for a little at home birthday celebration for my husband on Saturday the 19th.

Happy Isles, Yosemite Valley on a cool Winter morning.

This delicious cake was bought specially for the We're Here group who are visiting the Chocolate Cake group today. I was too lazy to make my own cake.

some storm activity over the ocean the past few days brought us some good surf.

Happy bokeh Wednesday!

Also, Happy Groundhog Day - the verdict from the furry prognosticator is in: we will have an early spring - woohooo!

Buttercream with royal icing flowers and chocolate butterflies. I haven't made a cake like this in awhile.

The sun glistens through the trees and frozen branches, which are thinly laced in ice from the day before. Looking closely at small, frozen twigs, it's as if they were dissipating sparks of light. Sunlight can have such a powerful affect on one's imagination and perspective.

Ice forming on the granite rock next to the Falls of Falloch, just north of Loch Lomond in Scotland.

Today was lovely and sunny day, but very cold -7 in the morning...;-))

Nearing the end of a chilly but clear week, there was a film of ice on the bay in the mornings!

 

Since it's the ocean you need the right conditions for ice, and Porpoise Bay is perfect. Very calm waters and lots of fresh water coming from creeks and rivers, which forms a thin layer of freshwater that freezes on top of the salt chuck!

Cherry and icing can catch your attention, but it is the cake that counts!
