Abner is just as handsome in photos taken with the new camera as with the old. Below you can see him with Risa at the Bass pond with a light skin of ice proving that it can get cold here in January. All the geese have moved to the lagoon.

Above is the walled garden at Biltmore and the Conservatory in the background. It is still pretty there even with nothing in bloom. The small tips of a few of the tulips are just starting to poke through the mulch in some of the more protected spots in the walled garden.

Matt and Amy and Bear joined Abner and me on a walk one sunny Sunday afternoon and we came upon this pink Cadillac festooned with Mary Kay emblems and personalized plates. I just couldn't resist. I mean it is a pink Cadillac.
