Rare pierces Posted December 16, 2019 #1 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Pictures taken between Monday, December 16 and Sunday, December 22. Rules: See above That's it. This isn't a contest. All photos taken this week are welcome (not just cruising). Prizes will not be awarded. Discovering the joy of photography is the prize. The idea is to get folks out using their cameras for more than vacations and toddler birthdays. Post one. Post many. Up to you. Have fun with your camera and share your fun with others!

Oakman58 Posted December 16, 2019 #2 Share Posted December 16, 2019 BAH!! I have to wait until the end of January for my S. Caribbean cruise to get out of this weather. On a positive note, I'm retired so I don't have to drive into work today. BAH! I have to go out and shovel the driveway. On a positive note, there is potential for a white Christmas. BAH! If I want to go anywhere I will have to clean the snow off the car. On a positive note, I own a car. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docker123 Posted December 22, 2019 #15 Share Posted December 22, 2019 It is hard to take good photos when you are trying to run away. Tiger snake, super venomous and not very friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zackiedawg Posted December 22, 2019 #17 Share Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) Well it's Christmas time, and I hadn't photographed my tree or decorations yet - too busy with travel and shopping in the weeks leading up to Christmas! But last night, after relaxing, knowing I wrapped the very last gifts and am ready for the relatives and friends to come...and also wanting to play with the new camera, I took some Christmas-y shots of the tree, all handheld playing with the high-ISO ability on the camera: The front side of the tree from the living room (and what can be seen through the front windows from outside): Ornaments are mish-mash for me - I don't like the perfectly matched designer looking tree - for me, Christmas trees are real pines, and ornaments and lights are colorful and come from all different sources and places. As I have Finnish relatives, I have a Finnish ornament (ISO 6,400): I've also got German, Russian, Irish, English, and several Latin American ornaments from travels or relatives or friends, and lots of cruise ships too. And some are just old traditional ornaments (ISO 6,400): Lots of gifts under the tree - and one ship-related ornament is visible too (ISO 6,400): Here's the tree from the *other* side, viewed from my office/library - you might spot a few more cruise ship ornaments, and my German (well, American-German to be accurate!) pickle (ISO 12,800): More ornaments - another ship related ornament is peeking through too (ISO 6,400): Edited December 22, 2019 by zackiedawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare pierces Posted December 23, 2019 Author #19 Share Posted December 23, 2019 We're buying tickets for the 2026 Winter Games! Well, maybe not quite yet. Friday was the local skating rink's annual Christmas show and we all showed up for Jackie's debut. It was her first time skating for an audience and while she wasn't quite ready for Olympic competition, she pulled off a heartbreakingly cute, no-fall routine without a hint of the expected freeze-up from the youngest solo performer of the afternoon. I can also confirm that in my unabashedly biased opinion, she was by far the cutest performer of the show skating to “Candy Cane Jane” dressed in her Christmas finery supplied by a doting great aunt with mad sewing skills. Yay, Jackie! Candy Cane Jane Dave 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yay, Jackie! Candy Cane Jane Dave We had a four-year-old soloist (partially with her mom) at this year's show. My granddaughter was the youngest at last year's show--she had just turned five and had a blast. I kinda miss skating with her. I hope she continues skating--it truly is a life-long activity.
