All the trees were dormant. The sun was all but missing behind grey skies. The cold had set in and the only thing left was to wait it out. Snow was on it’s way. Ready for a long winter in Illinois.

Here’s another view from a few nights ago when I was up at “oh dark thirty”. It was worth it to me, although I think it took me two days to fully recover.

In The Woodlands United Methodist Church, there are several sanctuaries. This tiny room holds about 20 people. As you sit in the candle light, you can hear far off Gregorian chants.

The bridge at the Woodlands Waterway is nicely lit up for the holidays. Also, the trees all along the waterway are meticulously decorated with lights wrapping the trunks and spreading up into the tree. It’s a great place for a peaceful evening stroll.

Here are my top 10 photos from 2011. Some of them have not been shown on “Adventures with Andrea”, yet. Like, this first one…
1. I caught this hummingbird in my backyard. He was hovering and staring longingly at the almost empty glass feeder.
2. While shooting at a local pond, I met a painter. I was inspired to try my first attempt at “paintography”.
3. Here’s another that has not been on Adventures with Andrea. A super closeup of a match reaching the end of it’s life…
4. At the end of a long day in the forest, the last view of the sun was blazing through the trees. And, a little lens fairy visited me…
5. A moody image of the sun barely making it through the clouds on a cold winter day.
6. A local eatery on a warm summer night…
7. Another new one that you’ve never seen (if you don’t follow my Google Plus Profile). A melancholy image of a flower past it’s prime…
8. Exploring the local neighborhood, I loved shooting this fountain. I’m not sure how I missed putting this on Adventures with Andrea…
9. I really pushed the look of this one to make a beautiful old looking corridor for your eyes to wander…
10. Finally, I finished up the year with a nice ornament picture…
Thanks for keeping up with my Adventures with Andrea. You can follow my Google Plus Profile for more contact with me. Also, if you are interested in art prints of my best work, head over to www.BriansArt.com. Thanks and have a great 2012.
I ventured out to try some night photography. The Woodlands is VERY quiet at night. I put the tripod in the road and left it sitting there for five minutes taking shots. I never even heard a car much less had one drive by and interrupt me. No people. No animals. Just me and the stars.

Winter in The Woodlands, Texas looks more like Autumn where I grew up. The trees change colors very slowly. It almost seems like it’s one tree at a time.

Merry Christmas! This ornament is one of our prettiest. It’s delicate and intricate. It’s metal but you can see through it. Lastly, I’m sure it reminds Andrea of home in Canada. I hope you have a great day wherever you are.

Looking back at some old pictures. This was from a trip we took to Prague, Czech Republic back in 2001. There are so many wonderful places to visit. When we were there, I knew we’d love to come back. But, it was probably once in a lifetime.
The Woodlands has a great concert venue. It’s an amphitheater called The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion. We attended concerts by the Houston Symphony and by “Maroon 5″, Train, and John Mayer that filled it to it’s 17,000 capacity. Most recently, we went there for a Children’s festival.
This picture shows the canopy over the seats. At the end of the Children’s Festival day, I managed to get this shot before they kicked us out.
