I have brewed about 4 or 5 beers in the past year. I brewed a Winter Warmer from a local brew shop, Listermans (http://listermannbrewing.com/) on Saturday night. As of today it looks like my air lock as some sort of bubbles but not as much as usual. I opened it up and shook it up some more. Unfortunately I did not take an initial gravity. I'm posting pictures.

Please help, thanks!

Your airlock appears to be missing something, namely the inverted cup and water or sanitizer. That being said, the only way to determine if your beer is done fermenting is with your hydrometer.

Take a reading 3 days apart, if it doesn't move then you have reached final gravity, fermentation/clearing/conditioning can proceed from there.
 
The airlock is also missing liquid so if that is the way it was during fermentation you wouldn't see any bubbles. This is what it should look like:

By the looks of the bucket you have had fermentation so seal it up and leave it alone for another 2 1/2 weeks. Then take a gravity reading, wait 2 days and take another. If they are the same you can proceed.
