This is Matilda and you will probably be seeing a great deal more of her. It's actually a sign of great restraint on my part that my 365:2011 was not full of my kids, but seeing as how she is a New Year's Baby (today is her birthday) it seems right to give her the number-1 position in 2012!
I took much more interesting photos today, but this one had a sort of old-timey, hanging in an Irish pub kind of look to it that just spoke to me.
Obviously I went a little crazy with the post-processing, but I love the mix of colors and lines. I wish I could have done more to bring out the red in the bramble in the bottom-left, but my photoshop chops are meager at best!

Glass is not a high-viscosity liquid at room temperature: it is an amorphous solid, although it does have some chemical properties normally associated with liquids. Panes of stained glass windows often have thicker glass at the bottom than at the top, and this has been cited as an example of the slow flow of glass over centuries. However, this unevenness is due to the window manufacturing processes used in earlier eras, which produced glass panes that were unevenly thick at the time of their installation. Normally the thick end of glass would be installed at the bottom of the frame, but it is also common to find old windows where the thicker end has been installed to the sides or the top. In fact, the lead frames of the windows are less viscous than the panes, and if glass was indeed a slow moving liquid, the panes would warp at a higher degree.
