Snow on its way!
Does the media make too much of the snow? Sometimes I think they do. I haven't seen a snowflake yet today, but I'm sure it's on its way.
The question is,"How terrible, (or windy, or deep) will this snowstorm be?"
Stay tuned.........

The rush is on...
Seasons Greetings!, originally uploaded by Alida's Photos.
It's a cold and windy day here on Long Island, but the rush is on to complete the holiday shopping. I have a few more things to buy, but most of the gifts, I bought on the internet.

Realistic German Art

German Art
At the Milwaukee Art Museum, Wisconsin
I like the more realistic art from this period. To me it looks more like a photograph, so maybe that's why I'm drawn to that style of painting.
I just don't get some of the modern art. I'm not impressed if it looks like something I could have done.

Milwaukee Museum of Art

My husband and I went to Milwaukee this weekend to visit family and got to see some of the attractions.
Here is the Milwaukee Art Museum situated right on Lake Michigan. It's a beautiful site and now a symbol for Milwaukee.

Quadracci Pavilion, designed by Santiago Calatrava
"The structure contains a movable, wing-like brise soleil which opens up for a wingspan of 217 feet during the day, folding over the tall, arched structure at night or during inclement weather. The brise soleil has since become a symbol for the city of Milwaukee.

red winter berries

Windy today and a sure sign that winter is here.
There were crowds out shopping while some people were still celebrating the Thanksgiving weekend holiday here on Long Island.
Me? I was in "the city" to see the Roundabout play with Carrie Fisher, "Wishful Drinking." I learned some things about Princess Leah that I didn't know, and maybe didn't really want to know. Oh well, it's always nice to be in the city this time of year.
We attempted to see the tree at Radio City but the crowds on the sidewalks, almost at a standstill, made me and my husband turn around and change directions.
There will be time to see the tree again but I'll be sure to go very early in the morning while everyone is still drinking coffee!

Patchogue Boat Parade
Patchogue Boat Parade, originally uploaded by Alida's Photos.
~~~
The town of Patchogue has an annual Boat Parade for the holidays. The big controversy is whether to call it a "Holiday Parade" or the "Christmas Parade." You just can't make everyone happy!
It was a nice night to watch the boats go by with spring-like weather.
