The World According to Leslie

 Anytime I can get Chasity to dress up, we do not have many reasons to around here, I try to get her to let me take a lot of pictures of her.  I do have to warn her ahead of time, and typically, she is cooperative.  Easter 2019 was one of those cooperative times! I think I got some good shots.  I typically take them on my camera instead of my phone. That is why April 2019 is just now being posted. I need to get better at posting soon after I take pictures.  NOTES:  1. The sun was bright and I use a point and shoot camera.  2. I am much better at nature photography.  3. I love taking pictures of my daughter!   That may (or may not) be picture overload!   Let me know in the comments if you have suggestions for better pictures. (Be kind!)

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....
