Cakes
Nothing Bundt Cakes is certainly a boutique like bakery specializing in a certain kind of cake as the name indicates.
For those of us who are in love with pretty things found only in boutiques, this is a place to visit.
This is a model of the large cakes.
The little ones are a perfect way to sample the various flavors available.
They are simply sweet and tasty. And they come with forks.

Books
When your favorite bookstore is about to close, you go and buy books and whatever else looks like a bargain.
The place was packed with people thinking the same thing I was thinking.
These were a dollar each.
This one book is really more for knitters. It is packed with stories about knitting which means very little to me. Is there one about crochet?

School Bus
I worked on a project that will decorate a wall of a middle school.
I found this clip art.
And turned into this. Snowden helped me with some of the painting. I am super happy about this accomplishment.

Pretty Places
Tucked away in a local gym, this little boutique exists.
I stop by to get a glimpse of pretty things that make me smile.
The African in me found this suit whimsical.

Courage and consistency
"Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage."

A celebration of kids
The local orthodontist celebrates his clients by throwing a party.
It was fun.

To develop oneself
Group think - a mode of thinking where participants strive for unanimity... It' s kind of like being part of a blog community where self expression unites all. I felt compelled to create this space after the passing of my father as if I needed to place bits of myself out in the universe. An eloquent writer I am not, so I use pictures who always have much to share, if only you look closely. I have benefited from the time I have spent thinking about Shades of Blue and what I might share in this my little corner of the universe. I hope you, who I see reading this right now, can see what I see and be richer inside as I am. Here's to more time spent being closer to the spirit living inside you.

The feel of Christmas
A walk outside to enjoy a few sparkles.
The table awaits the food prepared just so.
Sangria sweetened with tangelos and pomegranate.
Brussels sprouts, carrots, and yams before cooking.
Ham.
French bread pieces which will be toasted and used in the stuffing.
The tree.
The desserts.
And it was a good Christmas...
