Take a Picture - Day 361 - Last Pic of 2011

Well today I'm going to do exactly what the picture I took today.............

I got this shirt at Old Navy & I don't know if you can notice but the top of the bottle it lights up with movement.

Also, its another reason to celebrate a good year in photography because:

• I did 7 photography exhibits throughout different Libraries in Bergen County
• Created websites to sell my photography merchandise on & made a couple of sales
• Created & pretty much kept up with my take a picture a day blog - I'm closing in on a year in a few days!

So Happy New Year to all & Celebrate!

Take a Picture - Day 358 - Hockey Highlights

Tonight Tom & I went the Devils vs Sabers hockey game at the rock tonight. We got the tickets from my brother in law who has season tickets!  It was my first hockey ever & the seats were good (section 5 row 4 seats 1 &2).  The devils ended up winning 3-1 & plus there was a fight too.  Here are the highlights:

Love the Zamboni machine, they had guests riding it too!

The Mascot himself, the jersey devil

Best Goalie ever!  Martin Brodeur #30

Fight Fight!

that move cost him the penalty box for 10 min!!

Take a Picture - Day 355 - Merry Christmas!

As I said on my facebook profile before...."ahh nothing is better on Christmas morning than yule log on TV (ch 11)!!"

Take a Picture - Day 354 - Christmas Eve

Tom & I took a walk in our town so I can get a picture of some of my favortie & unique Christmas Decorations!  Here they are!

Not your typical Christmas decor but I guess more of a tribute since John Lennon did pass away this month.  I saw this last year too & it was taken down before I took a photo of it.  This year the Imagine sign is new addition!

 Of course I had to take a picture of this, its too bad that not all the lights work! 

This one just brings back memories for me when I had & used my own snoopy snow cone machine, it was the best!

Take a Picture - Day 353 - Christmas Eve Eve - Let There be Fish!

This year we had the Italian feast of the 7 fishes on the 23rd instead of the usually 24th!

So of course the picture for that day will be fish, I was happy to have eaten & enjoyed 3 out of the 7!!

Scallops Gallore!

Talipia before

Talipia after with francase sauce (cooked by my bro-in law Mike)

Take a Picture - Day 348 - Snowflake

Finally finshed Christmas shopping & present wrapping & can get back to picture of the day!

So today's pic is snowflake light effect that is featured on the wall in the lobby of the Morristown Hyatt.

So far we haven't seen any snow so far this Christmas season (except for the freak occasion in Oct), this is the closest thing!  lol :)

Take a Picture - Day 339 - Ornament

I was at my friend's house today & loved this hand blown glass ornament on her tree!!

Take a Picture - Day 335 - Worst Christmas Ornaments Ever!!

Take a Picture - Day 334 - Morristown Green at Chrismas time

Here are some photos I took tonight of the green!  It's so nice to walk though with all the pretty lights!

Take a Picture - Day 331 - Lite Brite Rockafeller Tree

For the month of December I decided to do a challenge of having my photos of the day be Christmas themed.  So for today this is my version of  looking up at Rockefeller Center tree made out of lite brite!!

Take a Picture - Day 330- This will not be on my Christmas List....... lol

Take a Picture - Day 327 - Drive by Sunset

Take a Picture - Day 324 - Happy Thanksgiving

I of course had to make this my photo of the day!  Got this snow globe a few years ago at Macy's !!  Can you guess why lol lol!

  it also plays music & goes around, but haven't played it since I had got a certain someone to stop right in front & center lol

Take a Picture - Day 323 - Most wonderful time of the year!

The title of today's blog usually refers to a Christmas song, but for me its the day when the best movie of the year comes out.......The Muppets!  So here is Kermit dressed up as a Pilgrim (that I found on eBay a few years ago) to celebrate the release lol!

Take a Picture - Day 318 - Taking it 1 Holiday at a time

Usually this time of year the Christmas decorations come in full force around town and in stores.  I was visiting my mom the other day & her town already had Christmas decorations on the street lights.  I mean its not even thanksgiving yet!

I always feel like Thanksgiving is the forgotten holiday sometimes because as soon as Halloween is over & those decorations come down ( & get marked down 50%) immediately the Christmas decorations come out.

Well when I was driving on Main St in Lodi today I was shocked to find that they their street lights were decorated with Happy Thanksgiving signs with various images of turkeys (as seen in my photo), cornucopias,  & Pilgrims hats.    So I applaud Lodi for taking it one Holiday at time & not rushing the holidays!

Take a Picture - Day 310 (11-10-11) - Fall Leaves

I realized that I have not taken any fall leaves pictures yet, been on a blogging hiatus & also had some computer issues yesterday.  So luckily I had some leafy variety right outside my door!

I love how the grey sky makes the colors pop!

Take a Picture - Day 309 - Muppet Movie Merchandise

The other day I got a flyer for the store Ulta (which is a beauty supply store) & saw this advertised & had to get it for my collection....plus I had a coupon too! 

Plus they had these cute displays as well, wonder if I can snag one from them!

Take a Picture - Day 300 - Happy Halloween!

This is a picture I took of my TV from the music choice channel!  He's so handsome!  LOL

Take a Picture - Day 295 - Really they couldn't think of a better title.......

Take a Picture - Day 293 - Vibrant

I was shopping tonight in one of my favorite stores (Ikea) & noticed these vibrant rugs & how they resemble sesame street characters like Elmo, big bird etc.......well now  I know what happens to them when they retire, we get to walk all over them!

Take a Picture - Day 291 - Apples to Apples

Today I went apple picking with some friends in Warwick, NY and got a lot of apples.  I never realized how many different kinds of apple there until you're there trying to pick them all! lol

Looks like apple cannibalism lol

                                                       Weird looking mini apple?
