I went to St. Francis Xavier, the College Church, on the campus of St. Louis University this morning. Today's dailyshoot.com assignment was converging lines. I was stumped as to how I was going to do this being I don't live in Montana where you can see the highway lines converge. Then I saw these stained glass windows in the church. I like how in the world window, the center is Rome. All roads lead to Rome. I also like how St. Louis is marked in the North America window.

I also noticed the theme for the stained glass windows in the church. Jesuits are awesome!

Here's the ice mound in Boathouse Lake in Carondelet Park. It's probably over 8 feet tall as I saw some people standing next to it and it was much taller than them.

I also caught a rainbow caused by the spray of the fountain.

It was finally warm enough to take Jake over to Carondelet Park for a walk. You can see the rock bridge that goes across Horseshoe Lake in the background. The little rock house off to the left is a restroom.

This is the view from the other side of the Lake. You can see the ducks on the pond. A couple of the ducks are actually geese. The biggest was abandoned in the park last winter.

These are the Christmas cards I received this year. I taped them to my door for a little festiveness. They are coming down today so I thought I'd snap a shot of them.

The assignment over at the daily shoot was glasses. Eh.

These my basset Jake's pawprints in the snow.  It's alot harder to take a picture of pawprints in the snow than I thought.  But I think this shot is better than my first attempt.  The snow is deeper, giving more contrast.

Photo taken from my porch into Carondelet Park. It's snowing!

I tried this challenge as part of daily assignment to photograph a light source. I thought catching the snowflakes would be neat as they fell in front of said light source.

Daxter and Ani (the white one), my sister's ferrets, fresh and clean from a bath!  Daxter was named after the character from the Jak & Daxter games for Playstation 2 and PSP

St. Jude, patron saint of impossible or hopeless causes.  Needless to say, he would be one my go-to saints.  I'm glad the candles came out well.

This wasn't quite what I had in mind for today's photo, but the opportunity presented itself.  It was  and still is incredibly cold today.  When I was getting out of my car, I noticed the heat radiating from the car was creating shadows on the garage door.

It snowed a little today.  I thought Jake's footprints in the snow would be an interesting shot. You can sort of see his prints near the red brick wall.  I think I need to work on my technique.
