Our Christmas Kitty
I want to thank everyone for the wonderful Christmas wishes. We had an amazing Christmas here and Santa was very good to us. The best part was being together to enjoy it as a family.
This was shot Christmas morning as we unwrapped our gifts. Missy LOVES Christmas. The bows are her favorite part of the whole thing. She made out really well this year too. Santa Paws brought her a new toy and a wonderful new bed that is kind of like a fleece lined sack that she can crawl into and curl up. She LOVES it! In this photo she is looking adoringly at her boy, Rob.

White Christmas?
previous / nextThis was the view outside of my office window on Friday. It was beautiful to see a snowstorm this close to Christmas. It is not too common for us to have a white Christmas and I know this snow won't stick around until Christmas Day. It has already been turning to slush which then freezes solid during the night making a pretty fair mess. But for now it is still white and looks pretty.
On a really happy note all of us are together under one roof for Christmas. Rob came home from Georgia Saturday afternoon and Russ finished up his finals at Rutgers and made it in about the same time as Rob. Of course Jon is thrilled to have his brothers home.. As much as he may protest, I don't think he likes being the only one left living at home. It was happy chaos here Saturday afternoon...and by Sunday it looked like a tornado went through the house.

Sugared Apples, Candy Canes, and Evergreens
previous / nextHow sweet they look!
This was shot last Saturday in Chester NJ while I was on a day long Christmas shopping expedition. Chester is a charming town with lots of quaint little shops. The trip was pretty much a failure since the only gifts I managed to find were for one very spoiled cat! I just couldn't decide what to get for people...sigh...I need some shopping vibes and inspiration! Hopefully by the time this posts (I'm writing this on Saturday night) I will have found that inspiration and have finished all my shopping.

Christmas Greenhouse
previous / nextWhenever I see a greenhouse filled with Poinsettias I think of Frosty the Snowman and how he melted in one when he took Karen in to get warm and the evil Professor Hinkle slammed the door on them locking them inside. I always cried when I saw that as a little girl.

Little Carolers
previous / nextThis was shot at ISO 6400 in extremely low light. Even under these conditions the D700 produces a pretty decent image although a bit softer than the previous ISO 6400 shot.
I have a Seasonal theme going, as if you haven't already figured that out! I hope to be able to continue the theme throughout the month all the way to New Year's Eve.

Window Shopping
previous / nextI love the way the stores' windows look this time of year and took quite a few shots of them while in the Village that evening. I thought this pottery was particularly sweet.
I know that there are some scratches and smudges on the windows which you can see in this shot. I decided to leave them rather than clean them up. I think it adds authenticity to the scene.

Posted Warnings
previous / nextETA...I just want to clarify some things about this post. I do not have any issue with people protecting their properties and privacy. I only posted this for the irony of it. Also this is not anyone's home. It is an old abandoned mill that was most recently used as a shop/studio for artists and craftspeople. From what a local resident told me it had been sold and the buyer wanted to "flip" the property, sell to a developer for lots of money to be torn down and have high priced luxury waterfront townhouses built along the River. The locals wanted to stop the development and have the old empty Mill preserved as an historic landmark...I believe the town was originally named for the old mill. That is what one local resident told me about the old property and from the sounds of it the owner was really unhappy with the residents for stopping the development. Now the old stone mill stands empty and falling into serious decay. It is sad to see this once beautiful building in such shape.

previous / nextI do know how a college student loses shoes though! Russell told me the story of how he and some friends were walking in New Brunswick and one of them was kicking something on the sidewalk and his shoe went flying over a fence and into a construction pit where he could not retrieve it. Silly college students! So at least now I have an answer to one of the mysteries of life!
