Howdy Neighbors,

As you all probably know by now, it's snowing!  Today's pic was taken out my back door.  I wanted to show how much snow we got, and snow on a step is a great way to show it.

Hey,

Do you remember way back in January when I gave a nod to my neighbor, Ms. Anna, well, she goes hard for Christmas and this is a display of her front yard.  I had to do a panoramic technique to get it all in.  Total props for this beautiful display of winter wonderland.  

Happy Christmas Eve!!!!

Hi,

It is getting closer and closer to Christmas!  I found this gem while watching a cheerleading competition at the Farm show.  That's funny right.  With everything going on around me, I focus on the garland.  I really must be a photographer now!!! lol

Hey,

This one was taken a little closer to home.  Across the alley where I live, I noticed this one red berry hanging on for dear life.  I tried to get in pretty close.  I like the red and the green in this photo, it reminds me of Christmas.

Hi,


I found myself wandering into the cemetery a lot this year.  I am not sure what draws me there, maybe it is the peace.  But, I hope you agree that both fog and snow makes this a beautiful place.

Hey,

Just a quick pic of a dear little kitty that I got to spend some time with.  Little Callie here, turned out to be a little boy instead of a little girl.  But, no matter, I will just call him a bundle of cuteness.

Hi,
  Snow covered web.  You have to look really close to figure out what this is.  This is a delicate balance of fragile and strength.  Or....you can just look at it as art.  lol

Hey,

I consider this creature to be my friend.  I adore wolves.  Good or bad, they are beautiful.  These creatures are being raised by some wonderful people.  They are well taken care of and very much loved.  They have space to be who they are and they give us a small glimpse of their beauty and grace.

Hi,

I have posted this image before but I converted it to black and white and let his blue eyes show through.  It is hard to believe that this cute, fluffy cat is actually quite dangerous.  Here at least, he just looks like my cat "Pebbles"

Hi,

As I come into the last month of this project, I am both saddened and elated.  I am sad that I was not able to go about it exactly as I had planned, but I am elated that I stuck with it.  Catching up when I could, and seeing it through to the end.

This month you will see a Hodge podge of images, I hope you enjoy.

I have a lot of snow pictures to show you this month.  This one was taken just after an icicle fell to the ground.  I tinted it blue!!!!
