Christmas Wishes Do Come True - Eventually

Do you recall my Christmas wish?

Here's a little reminder for you.

Bags and bags of football uniforms sitting in my dining room.

Ta da!

They are gone.

And it only took until January 20th for it to happen.

*

But, I wonder where they went?

Oh, that's where they went.

To the great room.

I guess that's an improvement?

*

But what's that black lump in the back of the piles?

Ah, it's a sleeping kitty.

Cute little Minx.

*

And - finally - on January 21st, those pesky uniforms left my house.

At least until next season...

Merry Christmas

Wishing you and yours the happiest of holidays

From the Foodie Family to you.

See what a difference it makes using the different settings on the camera?

The first picture was shot with the auto setting - no flash.

The second shot was with the night time setting - no flash.

Minx is watching his Christmas present:

five neon tetras.

And now the space under the tree is clear for him once again.

And as for me?

Did I get my Christmas wish?

*

Nope, still there.

Sunrise, Sunset

An unusual red sunrise - no bad weather that day

Since it looks to be a dark and gloomy day, I thought I'd brighten my day with some photos of sunrises and sunsets. Capturing the beautiful images on my digital camera is a particular hobby of mine. I hope they brighten your day also.

This is my favorite tree to photograph in the winter time. I just love the bones of this tree. Is there a more photogenic tree out there?

How about a full moon over a football game?

Jet trails in the evening sky

Who can I complain to about this utility pole? It's in the absolute worst spot for my wintertime sunset photos. I cannot believe they would be so insensitive to my needs.

Summer sunsets require more careful staging as some of the neighborhood houses tend to get in the way of a good picture.
