Ooh, last week before the big day, and only a few days before I travel. When I spoke with my Mum last night I learned that northwest Illinois has snow - at least five inches on the ground! It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, every where I go... There's the hustle and bustle around town, evidence of holiday festivities...
He was walking against the light, with a ten pound bag of ice tucked under each arm.
A doorway at Cafe El Sol, United Community Center, Milwaukee. Sometimes the simplest of decorations are among the finest.
Thanks for looking at my creative endeavors this week. Head on over and say hello to Lisa at The Creative Exchange where you'll find oodles of fine creative expressions. Happy Monday everyone. I hope your coffee/tea is strong, hot, and it doesn't burn your tongue.

Nice shots! Great eye you have!
The "door way" is more than just a door way! I love everything about it. This is one of those photos that pulls a person in.
How did you know I am in bed with with the laptop and drinking the coffee. Only I DO like mine very hot. Oh how I wish you and I could meet at a coffee shop to chat. You are far, but dear to me. Thanks for your comments, and you are the one that really knows how to read between the lines!
That doorway makes me think of the Light of the World shining out the open doorway of a stable long, long ago. It's a beautiful photograph. Happy Monday to you too, Ms. Becky.
I love your second photo a lot. so warm :) an open door that invites to go inside. love it! the first photo gives me the chills (to carry ice so close to the body, brrr) but as always I feel there is a photojournalist in you. love the way you document life :)
xxo
glad you're going to get some snow for Christmas after all! :)
That second photo really grabs a person's attention - fantastic lighting, crisp and clear interior - lovely!
A doorway at Cafe El Sol is the simply the beautiful Christmas photo. Looks gorgeous!
Wonderful Merry Christmas to you!
Greetings, Merike

That doorway image is amazing! So simple, yet so rich in color. (I can't imagine carrying ice under my arms!) Have a wonderful and most Merry Christmas, Ms. Becky!
The second pic caught the essence of Christmas as I see it.
At first glance, I would have sworn that you were in Europe with that doorway! Nice find. enjoy your hustle and bustle...
I was telling my wife yesterday how much you are longing for a white Christmas. Well it is sounding like you will be getting what you want even if you have to travel to find it. I like the B&W street shot, something I should do more of myself. Have a great week of last minute madness Becky.
The simplest decorations are always the best, I think. Becky - safe trip when you go to visit your family and have a lovely Christmas. Love Molly xx
Excellent captures ! I love the motion in the first one.
WOW! love the Cafe El Sol photo!!!!
The guy with the ice seem in a bit of a hurry. I would be too if my office party crowd were clamoring for cold drinks!
Great door way!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Love that door way, you've captured a beautiful light.
HAve a great day!
One more proof that shows what a great photographer you are Becky. But, drive carefully - when you're taking photos!
Both of these are wonderful Becky, but I especially love the doorway. Simple, and simply beautiful.
Thank you so much for sharing at The Creative Exchange this week.
I wish you a beautiful Holiday!
lisa.
Wonderful photos Becky. I was only in Milwaukee once to visit a friend who lives nearby...the first photo looks familiar to me...I think I recognize the buildings. My memory surprises me sometimes!
I'm wishing for a brown Christmas down here in Oklahoma.
I love the dynamic of the guy carrying the ice. The doorway photo is wonderful.
I love that b&w photo! We had more snow today and expecting more tomorrow. We'll see.
Wonderful shots, but that last one is magical!
I agree - the simplest decorations are lovely, as that doorway shot shows.
Have a wonderful holiday visit!
Your second photo is very appealing. Very old world.
Love the perfect simplicity of the doorway image. Great eye!
Just an awesome set of pics once again! Loved that street shot, looks so carefree...
And the door shot too, its fabulously captured...
Have a Happy Day Ms Becky:)
