It is a beautiful, sunny, warm day in Michigan. It is 63°; so unlike a normal Michigan winter. Milo and I took a long walk. He was so happy. He ran, sniffed, and watered all the trees, including this fire hydrant. ;o)

I haven't been around lately. I'm lacking ambition and inspiration. Poor Gertie (my camera) is collecting dust. I already missed a week from my 52 photo project. That is not like me this early in the year.

Be Fri

My Best Friend & I in High School shared a set of charms. Put together they say BEST FRIENDS. I have one and she has the other. This is a crazy photo of the two of us and my half of the charm.

Ellis was all alone* watching the snow fall. What a peaceful night.

(... perhaps he should have been cleaning dog nose prints off the window. What a slacker!)

Time to clean up the Christmas ribbons and wrappings.

All is quiet today... The hustle and bustle of Christmas came to a complete halt when I hit my head on the pillow last night.
Early this morning the kids went with Grandparents on a trip to visit my brother and his family in New York. Missing them; my kids, my brother and his wife, especially his adorable little girls.

I realize that I have many dog/kitten photos for this project. With my kiddos almost grown up, I find that they are they easiest subject to shoot.
The kitten was enchanted with the lights, the tree and the bows on the gifts that were put out on Christmas Eve. My pup was enchanted with the new kitten.

A little nostalgia... remembering the joy of the season, the childhood magic, and the warmth of yester-years.
Thinking back to when Christmas was fun, not that it isn't now. The anticipation and excitement was much different when I was 8 than 38.
Things like this little Santa from when I was a child helps me adjust my attitude.

I hate to admit this, but I haven't bought one single gift yet. I have not had the chance yet. (Sorry midnight shopping is not something I do.) Thank goodness that I have this week off of work.

It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth!
Fall on your knees! O hear the angels' voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born.




One of my favorite Christmas Hymns. 

As soon as I got the prompt this morning, knew what I was shooting... my beloved Nativity... I was shooting this in the early morning. I had a super slow shutter, no tripod, holding my breath. Into the frame, walks my dog. lol! I kind of like the "haze" he created. haha!
