Day 21 of Photo 365 is interactive!

What do you think this is? It’s still dreadfully cold here in Minnesota, so I didn’t venture out tonight. That is your only hint – this photo was taken in my home.

Let’s see how many creative guesses I can get. 🙂

Baby, it’s cold outside

Today was the start of wind chills in the negative digits. It doesn’t matter if it feels like -10 or -30. Cold is cold, which is why I stayed home today. This chair is perched on our rooftop deck, obviously waiting for warmer weather.

Let’s play hockey!

Today is Hockey Day Minnesota where people from Winona to International Falls celebrate putting the puck where mama keeps the peanut butter. There are Pee Wee tournaments, high school contests, the University of Minnesota game against rival North Dakota, the U.S. Pond Hockey Championships, and maybe the biggest celebration, a very belated start to the NHL season. The Minnesota Wild took the ice tonight against the Colorado Avalanche, and I was there for warm-ups. It feels good to be back.

This is day 19 of Photo 365.

Postscript – The Minnesota Wild won 4-2. Tremendous conclusion to a day of hockey!

Cat in the lap

Sometimes after a long day you just want to sit on the couch with a cat in your lap. Arbus curled up tonight, and I couldn’t say no. Limited mobility caused me to get creative with my photo apps. This picture was taken with an iPhone 5 camera, then treated with InstaEditor, and finally given a filter in the BeFunky app. I thought the scratchy frame edges were a nice addition to the big kitty paw.

This is day 17 of Photo 365.
