Finally, I managed to click this. Not a great downtown view but still it makes a good picture I think.

As the candle wanes
spreading light around
It quietly dies
without making a sound

A wish for the new year

This had been brewing since the holidays but I didn't get enough time (between work and clicking photographs..I have been neglecting my writing...this year I hope to work on that too) to work on it and get it all done. It's actually been a while since I sat down to write something. As they say "It's better late than never" here goes a wish for this year.

It’s that season of magic
When you hear the sleigh bells ring
It’s that season of joy
Which makes every heart sing

It’s that time of the year
When the ambience is all festive
It’s that season of love
When all you do is give

Just close your eyes
And join in the fun
Have a good time,
It’s only just begun

Filled with all wonders and miracles
Let the joy spread
Toast yourself to a new life,
To the new year ahead

Snow seems to be the latest trend. Didn't you hear?
Its been snowing pretty consistently every weekend or a long weekend. Its probably the weekend special..we are either hit with wintry mix and sleet or some good 6 or 7 inches of snow. We were hit with a snowstorm just for the New Year, guess the message got up there a little late, we wanted a white Christmas duhh! not a white start to the year!!

Here is the link to the whole set as a slideshow. Enjoy!

PS: Incidently, this happens to be the first post of 2008..Happy New Year you all!
