It's Wordless Wednesday again. Where has the year gone?
Happy New Year to you!
Saw this decorated cardboard standup outside someone's home.
I guess he can wave "Happy Holidays" to everyone who passes by.
Merry Christmas to each and every one of you who drop by and read my blog regularly! Without you, blogging would not be as fun!- Karen

That is tens of thousands of jelly beans sculpted into the Statue of Liberty including the pedestal.
Have you seen anything this sweet?- Karen
As a child, some of us might have been told by our parents to eat our vegetables or not to play with our food. I guess these produce artists did not listen.

Dinner at 80 feet in the air.
This pricey Mastro's Restaurant in a Las Vegas mall is modeled after a tree house. 
Empty during the time I visited, it is only open during dinner hours.
Come back when it is open and enjoy your candlelight dinner with a view.- Karen
This is a model of the historical Placer County Courthouse in Auburn, California. The city came into height of popularity during the gold rush era of the 1850's. Today, the building is a museum and open to the public where you can see this beautiful replica and learn about the history of the area.
P.S. I will be out of town for a week and will respond to you upon my return. Thank you for visiting.- Karen
I felt sorry for the unhappy man who was pushing the 6-passenger Bye Bye Buggy uphill.
The woman next to him seemed to be helping, but who knows how much effort she was exerting.- Karen
It's Wordless Wednesday again.- Karen
One of the more unique buildings in San Francisco is the Legion of Honor fine art museum. It is a three-quarter scale model of the Palais de la Légion d'Honneur in Paris, except with a striking view of the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance.
You have seen a picture of its interior in my previous post and here is the museum's spacious courtyard with a replica of Rodin's The Thinker.
Many wedding parties use it as a backdrop for their photo memories like this happy couple and their entourage on the day I visited.- Karen

I don't play golf, but if I did, I think I want to play here at the Lincoln Park Golf Course in San Francisco.
With such a nice view, I don't know if I can concentrate on the ball.
Photography in low light is different as night and day, literally. Our camera club visited the local miniature golf course and I composed this shot. I would not have been able to capture the concentric circles if I photographed this same spinning windmill blade during the day.
Here is the same object closer and from a different angle.
Both of these shots required long exposures (13-15 seconds in both of these cases), a tripod, and some patience.- Karen

Walking through the forest, this building with an open door comes into view.
How to access this discreet entrance? Where does it lead?
Curiosity and bravery will be the guide.- Karen
November 11th was declared "Armistice Day" in 1919 by U.S. President Wilson to remember the end of World War I a year before. In 1954, U.S. President Eisenhower renamed the holiday to "Veterans Day" to honor American military veterans of all wars.
Today was no exception.
Local firefighters draped a flag in the middle of downtown before the start of the parade.
As I doubt anyone from the American Revolutionary War is still with us, these representatives remind us of the sacrifices those soldiers made from centuries ago.
Same here with representatives from the American Civil War.
Most importantly it is a day to remember those veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice on the battlefield.- Karen

All columns and rows standing perfectly apart since 1924. They meet on the floor and they meet on the ceiling, but they never touch.- Karen
Whether chasing squirrels, burying bones, or battling fountains, a dog's work is never done!- Karen
