The World According to Leslie

These pictures are a couple years old, and they have been in my camera since I took them. I don't edit. It's not that I don't think I need to; it's that I don't know how. I need to learn, but Chasity is going to take Digital Photography next semester, so she can teach me how to edit.  Birdhouse on Trail at Frank Liske Park Bridge on Trail at Frank Liske Park Memorial Gardens, Concord, NC Memorial Gardens, Concord, NC Memorial Gardens, Concord, NC   Memorial Gardens, Concord, NC Memorial Gardens, Concord, NC Memorial Gardens, Concord, NC                                                        Memorial Gardens, Concord, NC Looking at the Sky at the Memorial Gardens Memorial Gardens, Concord, NC Tree "Seat" at Memorial Gardens, Concord, NC I hope you enjoyed these.  I know it was picture overload!  ...

Over the past few days, the temperatures here have been colder than normal. They have been in the single digits in the mornings and barely above freezing (if at all) during the day. The schools have been delayed twice this week because of the cold temperatures. They knew they would probably have bus issues; plus it was just too cold, especially with the wind some days, to have the kids standing outside in the dark waiting for the bus. In downtown Kannapolis, we have a park--Veteran's Park. There is a fountain there. It has been frozen this week.  The water that is moving isn't frozen, but the water that is not moving is.  We stopped by today, after bowling this morning and I got some pictures of it.  I think they are really neat!  One of the spouts looks like an "ice volcano" when the water shoots out. This is the view of the fountain from the park, toward the street. This is the view from the street.  Both sides of the fountain are frozen....

I just spent two hours (yep!  You read that correctly--TWO HOURS) working on a post with pictures and details from 2012.  It was 2012 in Review.  I used Windows Live Writer, like I always do when I am posting pics.  Then it wouldn't let me post.  It also wouldn't let me save.  So now.... I have NOTHING to show for those two hours I just worked. Maybe.... I will put the time in to try it again.  However, I will probably just post random things from 2012 in Review and not do the entire post over!  I hate when that happens.  I wish I knew how to get Blogger to work when I'm posting pics.  Anyways..... HAPPY NEW YEAR!
