And Happy Wannabe Warmer Wednesday!

Thanks to Barb (www.flickr.com/photos/bjh1074/), we have a chance to relive warmer days at least once a week and rediscover hidden treasures deep in the photo closet.

This beautiful lily was found at The House On The Rock in Wisconsin during our 4th of July trip there.

Looking out the window on this Christmas Day, we have snow on the roofs and in the trees thanks to an overnight fresh coating. Temperature is a balmy 21 here in Lake County. We have a White Christmas!

I came back to Lincoln Marsh in the summer a year after my first visit during the drought. Clearly the marsh was alive with life and its pleasures.

Happy Wannabe Warmer Wednesday!

Winter has officially just started, but I miss summer already.

And I miss macro photography :)
