End of 2025 and a Few Last Minute Images

Hello friends and fellow bloggers,

Tuesday was a super busy day for me.  The day included running errands in the late afternoon and early evening. I thought it would be fun to share some snippets of what I saw while I was out. I made my usual trip to the library to return a book and pick up another. 

There was a chill in the winter air and fresh snow had fallen on the mountain tops. Today was a treat in that it was so nice to see the mountain peaks in all their glory today.  Not only was there freshly fallen snow on the mountains but the sky was clear enough and bright enough to enjoy the view.

I was out in the neighbourhood running a number of errands when I took the following "night time" images.  It was only about 5:30 p.m.   Apparently we'll be experiencing a wolf moon or super moon which will reach it's full peak on January 3rd just after 5 a.m. I doubt I'll be up that early to take a photo. You can read more about the moon here in case you're interested.

I enjoy all the Christmas lights at the time of year.

I'm reading my last book, number 59 of the year which will bring me to 20,100 pages read. I didn't think I'd meet the 20,000 pages because I slacked off a bit from reading to focus on a few other time consuming things. However, reading is an easy, pleasurable activity when you have a few minutes to spare so I always have a book on hand. 

My first book of 2026

If I don't read from you or post again before the end of the year I want to wish you all a very Happy New Year. May God smile on you and your loved ones in 2026.  

Joining in with Skywatch Friday for the first time in 2026!

October Sky

I've enrolled in a short Spanish course.

On my first day of class, I captured the scene above while I was having a quick lunch purchased from one of the food trucks in the photo.

The weather was beautiful and you can see that the sky was such a lovely clear blue.  Also you can see that the leaves are turning golden and red.

I hope the weather is lovely wherever you are.

I am late adding my photo link to Skywatch but have been under the weather this week.

Am now taking medicine and should be feeling better in a few days.

It is Super Moon edition at Skywatch Friday.
I don't have a zoom lens or an expensive camera so my Super Moon looks so far away and small.

I had to cut out the the trees and buildings from my photo because the city lights made the moon photos too blurry.

Perhaps I can borrow a zoom lens before the next Super Moon and see if my photos are any better.

I'm on my way to an evening with  the Symphony.

I hope you are doing something you enjoy this weekend.
