Photo Friday: Dramatic
At first viewing, one might assume that the subject of this Photo Friday, “Dramatic”, is best personified by the Downtown Disney Denizen, jutting up in all his LEGO glory from the lagoon, with googly-eyes popping, for the amusement and surprise of kiddies.

Photo Friday; Climate: “Blanket of Snow”
Like the cozy hand-knit afghan that, after having been set aside during warmer months, now blankets our shivering selves; Nature’s blanket of snow returns – predictably, beautifully, and comfortingly. Blanket of Snow
