This shot was taken from the front seat of my car on an extremely cold day. I had defrosted all of my windows. Then I drove to work only to find out that we weren't going to be open that day. After being home for a few minutes I decided to hit the store. When I had gotten back into the car, the wet on all of the windows had already frozen back over. That's what you see here.

Thanks for looking!

This is a pizza that I bought from Domino's. I would have never thought to post it here. But they are asking people to take pictures of their pizzas and submit them. They then figure out which ones to use in Regional and National ads. Well, they've asked to use mine. So I figured I would share it with you all.

Thanks for looking!
