<p>Well! A new year, Nikon people. Hope everyone's holidays were happy and peaceful. We rang in New Year's Day with a nice pile of greens and a perfectly sizzled pile of leftover tenderloin bits from an earlier feast. It was just the meal to break in one of the gifts we bought ourselves: a new skillet. Not just any, though. Love to support smaller US-based artisans and businesses, and very happy to report that Smithey Ironworks in South Carolina makes a fantastic cast iron pan. Not in this shot is the highly polished cooking surface that behaves wonderfully and cleans up with no fuss. If you're a cast iron pan person (you know who you are!) check out Smithey's two early products (10" and 12" pans) - I'm really impressed. Not affiliated, just happy!<br /><br />Hope everyone's got some photos to share, whether or not cooking implements are involved. Let's see 'em!</p><div></div>

<p>From this summer, when I was able to climb up beside the stage during a concert by the Cape Breton Old time Fiddlers. What an awesome experience<br /><br /></p>

<p>A short trip to the Santa Barbara Marina hoping for some photogenic could cover. During processing I felt the color was distracting and chose to do a B&W conversion.<br>

<p>I am though hadn't heard of Smithey's before. That's a beautiful pan.</p>

<p>Happy New Year, Nikon fans!</p>

<p>Lake Michigan's western shoreline is normally covered in ice, but last weekend there were just a few icicles on driftwood.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy New Year to all! While sitting at the dining room table for lunch on the second day of the new year, I looked out to see that we had a surprise visitor to the back yard ...</p><div></div>

Great images today. Love the B&W shots

<p>This tree seems curious about what's going on. </p><div></div>
