Santa Getting Ready


Oooooh! It's getting closer!!! Tonight's the night for Santa's big ride! The sleigh is almost all packed with every last toy. So get those cookies ready for Santa and maybe a little something for the reindeer too. Santa has been watching the weather through his frosty window with one of his Elves to determine if he is going to need Rudolph to help him navigate this year.

To all my photoblog friends who celebrate I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

As of July 2008 I have decided to post the same photos on "Parallel Universe" as I do here. It has become too complicated to maintain two different photoblogs on a regular basis. Feel free to visit "Parallel Universe" and look through the portfolio/archives since there are quite a few photos there that were never posted here. I will continue to post on both since each one gets different viewers. I have also changed the title of Parallel Universe to Capture This Photography 2.

Pussy Willows in December's First Snow

previous / next

It is December 2 and I woke this morning to the first real snow of the season. Not a big snow but enough to cover everything with a beautiful Mantle of pure white delight. I of course was very excited. I had to go to church early to set up the coffee and goodies for Fellowship Hour. When the service ended and all the goodies were put out I went outside and got a few shots of the snow outside of the church.

There is a Pussy Willow bush/tree next to the parking lot. I thought Pussy Willows bloomed with their little fuzzy buds in the early Spring, I didn't know they could have buds in the Fall/Winter. I know there are a few gardeners who visit my site and I would love if one of you could enlighten me.
