Thanksgiving, 2006
Here are pictures from the Thanksgiving holiday that I spent with my
family, both indoors, in Old Town Alexandria, and at several
local parks.
Kelly makes great fresh cranberry sauce! Here,
the cranberries are just getting warm.
Brussel sprouts, ready for the steamer.
A pot on a very hot stove burner. To the naked
eye, this hot burner looks red. However, my Nikon
D50's sensor interpreted the hot burner as being
purple. This raises the possibility of future
experiments in infrared photography...
Our handmade stoneware teapot.
A mossy wall in Downes Park. See a similar photo,
taken with the Zero 2000 film pinhole camera,
under the Downes Park section of the Pinhole
Photography page.
Water flowing around a log protruding from the
bottom of the bay.
A very tall tree.
Right near the waters of the bay, colorful leaves
are visible until very late in the fall season
(early December).
An interesting broken tree.
Flocculent white clouds at high altitude.
Trees reflecting in a still pond at Downe's Park.
Tall trees standing against a starkly polarized
"band" in the afternoon sky.

The flowing nature of these cirrus clouds fascinated
me.

ever-active mind of Lumpy our cat...

crawled there to cool his head during the process
of Enlightenment.

windows, side by side.
A very friendly and colorful macaw. We saw many
parrots in Alexandria, on display by a local parrot
rescue association.
A cockatoo
Look at those birds!
