ABC WEDNESDAY LETTER " X "



It's hard to believe that we are almost to the end of the
alphabet.
ABC Wednesday is finally to the letter " X ".
This letter is getting more difficult to define.
My first photo I simply call: " X " Marks the Spot.



Las Vegas is full of eXtreme designs.
Here is a spectacular one.
This is the Ocean Club Restaurant inside the Crystal Mall.
Enlarge the photo to see the tables set inside the bulging
part of the structure.
I would have been eXcited to eat there but my wallet wouldn't
allow it.



Our mornings have been eXtremely cold lately.
This morning it was 24F. or -4.44C.
For our part of California that's cold.
No snow or even rain in the forecast,
just lots of heavy frost.



Here is an eXhortation I saw on the wall of the Abraham
Lincoln eXhibit at Disneyland.
Wishing we could all live in unity and peace with each
other.
I'm pretty eXhausted from the holiday activities so this
is a short post,
But
I do want to wish all of you a Healthy and Happy New Year.

That is a wonderful frost picture!!! And the design restaurant thing, that is totally wild! I enlarged it to get a better look. How do the diners get there, steps or an elevator? It must be hard for the waiters!!

I think you did a great job with the letter x. The shadow x on the bell is fantastic. Happy new year ahead!

Reader Wil said...

It's amazing how inventive you are! Every round new X-words are found and every time I think: "Well this will be the last time, next round will be too difficult"!.But... who knows...
Have a great New Year's Eve!

Kathy said...

Yes, X is very difficult. Love the pic of that restaurant in Vegas. It is very futuristic.

Barb said...

I love the X on the bell - very creative.

You certainly came up with some eXcellent eXamples for our letter X this week. Beautiful photos! Hope your Xmas was fun as well as eXhausting! :D

I am impressed with the design of the Ocean Club Restaurant. It is extraordinary and I can only imagine how exciting it would be to eat there. Your first photo is great and interesting and the name of it is creative, indeed. I also like your frozen leaves photo. It has been quite cold here too. It is 11 o'clock pm right now and it is - 10°C outside. But that is normal for this time of the year. It is warm in my home and the crackling of the wood in the stove makes me feel so comfortable.
Happy New Year to you and to your family!

do you slide down to the restaurant? I won't say it is a fancy design. It looks like some equipment a man might use if he has complete rest in bed. Sorry, as this is Christmas.

Meryl said...

Las Vegas IS Xtreme! Sweet post. Wishing you a spectacular 2012.

Unknown said...

Happy new year to you too!
:)

Hildred said...

I do think your exhortation is most appropriate for these difficult times, and very inspiring.

Chubskulit Rose said...

These are awesome Xs.

X-mas or Christmas, which one do you approve of? May you have a prosperous new year!

Paula Scott Molokai Girl Studio said...

Great X post!!! You do mystify us all with your ineXhaustible source for each letter of the alphabet!

Tumblewords: said...

Excellent photos, as always, and your narrative is fun to read. The shadow x in the first photo is amazing and I'm sure I'd have missed dining in the extreme restaurant, as well.

Gattina said...

Oakland Daily Photo said...

Your shadow shot definitely wins the prize for most clever X.

Lisa said...

I've never been to Las Vegas and can only imagine the eXtreme everything! I love the frosty photo and 24F is cold even in middle Missouri!

ChrisJ said...

The frosty leaves is a great photograph! Thanks for visiting my blog so faithfully. You always have great posts.

Excellent - I didn't see the shadow at first on the bell.

Hope you have a great New Year!
