Christmas Portraits
Well, it’s almost Christmas, and in my house, that means lots of pictures of the kiddos. Just thought I’d share a few. Every year, I take a picture for our annual Christmas card that goes out to family and friends, and using a tree with small lights makes for a great background.

Waiting at the Platform
I took about 15 minutes today to finally get out and shoot just a little bit, since I have been working non-stop at home and work. It’s been a while. Anyway, there was a great blue heron just waiting along the river dock….and he made quite a striking subject (click to enlarge):
