December 11, 2012 kelly NaNoWriMo

NaNoWriMo is officially over and what have I done with my crappy draft of a half-done manuscript since November 30th? Well.

I'm me. I write, travel, and take photos. I've cooked a few meals in my life, too. Mostly iPhone here, Canon 5D at Flickr.
Instagram post 2222878341300247859_47029782 It’s been snowing steadily for ten hours and I can’t get over the wonder of it. The wind has kicked up and gusts are sending snow from the roof tops in a powdery spray. Evergreen boughs droop heavily. I’ve been out in it several times already, giving the neighbors something to talk about. “Those new people from So Cal...” . . . #winterwonderland #mainelife #maine #snowday #letitsnow
Instagram post 2222190463968830547_47029782 The end of another day... at 4:37. Long nights. Very long nights. . . . #sunset #winterscape #silhouette #stillness #dusk #mainelife
Instagram post 2222035217434537755_47029782 “Well? When are you going to let me back inside? It’s not exactly warm out here.” . . . #theWanda #socalbulldog #maine #itsfreezing #englishbulldog

Instagram post 2219115532456358369_47029782 It’s 52 (edit: make that 56 just before noon) degrees today. In January. In Maine. We’re convinced we’ve wrecked Winter by bringing warmer weather with us from San Diego. It’s as if we soaked up years of it and now it’s radiating from our bones. Please send snow. . . . #winter #wheresthesnow #myneighborhood #fromwhereistand
Instagram post 2216897059533775005_47029782 The Chinese lanterns have kept their cheerful color in spite of freezing temps and snow. I left them because I thought the birds might enjoy them at some point—and perhaps they will. Regardless, I’m enjoying them. . . . #winterwonderland #Maine #newenglandoutdoors #wintergarden #snowyday
Instagram post 2214283191181897403_47029782 The massive silver maple across the street is at least 150 years old. There are several others along the street. It’s difficult to imagine what it would take to bring it down, but our house would be a direct hit. Still, I love it, leafless or otherwise. . . . #silhouette #jj_mobilephotography #winterscene #maine #windowview
Instagram post 2212485243634318002_47029782 Red sky at morning, sailor’s warning. But it makes for a glorious way to stand for a while in the quiet house, watching the color slowly evolve. . . . #sunriseoftheday #sky #morninglight #momentslikethese #newenglandlife #maine
Instagram post 2211957646622071223_47029782 Ice feathers on glass. Here’s to a bit of magic in the ordinary for you each day in this new year. It’s always there. Look for it and soon it will be finding you. . . . #happynewyear #2020 #magical #itsthelittlethings #nothingisordinary #gratitude
Instagram post 2206405541316523717_47029782 Merry Christmas to you all. Here’s hoping your holidays are as lovely as can be. Peace to all. #theWanda #merrychristmas #peaceonearth #jj_community
Instagram post 2199520361528085662_47029782 Enjoying the fire at a lovely country inn during a short stay this weekend. What a lovely way to get out and spend time getting to know a place, and to do a bit of Christmas shopping as well. Not a mall around for scores of miles. . . . #maine #mainelife #myfirstrealwinter #countryinn #cozyvibes
Instagram post 2198109065589242739_47029782 Before the big melt this past week. Can’t wait for more, and soon. Everybody tells me, just wait. You’ll be tired of it. After a life in the sun, I don’t see that happening. . . . #maine #wintersun #wonder #firstrealwinter #snowscape
Instagram post 2196779137406782829_47029782 A walk through town, buying this and that for Christmas box stuffers to mail. I love these red berries. They grow wild here by the side of the road. . . . #buylocal #smalltownlife #maine #mainstreet #winterberries
Instagram post 2196578134463941231_47029782 Just a dusting overnight... perfect! . . . #jj_forum_2820 #jj_textures #maine #mynewengland #firstwinter
Instagram post 2190197893688681448_47029782 A chilly walk late on a Sunday afternoon. No one’s around, everyone is tired from the holiday, and we have the streets to ourselves. . . . #maine #smalltown #notquitewinter #itscoldoutside
Instagram post 2190194829514623390_47029782 The sea water is beginning to freeze in places where it’s still in spite of days where the high is above freezing. If I could scramble on the rocks to get closer, I would, peering into the darkness of it, and wondering what’s there. . . . #notquitewinter #midcoastmaine #waterscape #moodygrams
