The Vermeer Mill is about three block from our house, and during Pella’s annual Tulip Time it is a huge attraction. I’ve taken a lot of pictures of the mill over the years. This year Wendy and I were only in town for the final evening of Tulip Time and a storm had rolled through in the afternoon. I was standing in line to get a plate of poffertjes from one of the stands just below the mill and I snapped this picture with the storm clouds above. A little digital enhancement brought out a dramatic effect which I liked.
While in Colorado for Thanksgiving, Courtney and Becky sprang for the whole family to spend the afternoon at the Denver Art Museum. Taylor mentioned that she loved this particular piece of artwork which consisted of long panels of sheer pink fabric with strips of gaudy sequins. When she caught me taking her picture in front of it, she went into “ham” mode and gave me a couple of blissfully enjoyable shots. This is one of my favorite pictures from that weekend.
