I made this image last summer at the Rodeo. These guys would have a laugh or two in between riders, and events, but man they worked hard when it was time to work, and making sure the arena was ready for the show. 
I do love those BIG belt buckles!

I participated in Scott Kelby’s WorldWide Photowalk last October, and the walk I did was at Fort Point in San Francisco, CA. This is an image from just outside the fort.

I spent New Year’s Day in Yosemite National Park with 2 good friends. It’s a tradition of ours to get together for the New Year and photograph something good. There’s snow in Yosemite so we went there for the day.
Yosemite is magical in the Winter.
I made this image standing on Sentinel Bridge looking at Half Dome and the Merced River.

Theme week 4 for the month of December is Christmas Where You Are. For my entry I’ve shared our tree, and some of our Christmas decorations. I really love the tree this year. Even sans the topping star. I couldn’t find it for weeks! I found it 2 weeks ago, but am afraid I’ll topple the tree if I attempt to put it on, so we’re topless this year.
#1 Grandson (he turned 3 last Saturday!) really loves the tree with its ornaments, lights and Bears. A tradition that #1 Grandson is going to start understanding this year; when he wakes up tomorrow The Bears will be gone! They’ll leave a note on the tree that says they’ve gone to help Santa with the last BIG push to get things done in time for his trip Christmas Eve, but don’t worry! They’ll be back Christmas morning. 🙂
I think he’s brought the magic, awe, and joy back to the house this Christmas, and it’s infectious. YEAH!
From my house to yours may your hearts be filled with everything joyous, and wonderful this season brings. Merry Christmas!

Theme week 3 in Leanne Cole’s Monochrome Madness 2 is Angel(s).
For this week I selected an Angel ornament I received as a Christmas gift from my Mother. She’s a Hallmark ornament issued in the year 2000.
She’s called Graceful Glory.
“Full of grace and glory,
wonderfully strong,
angels bless our hearts
with Heaven’s gentle song. ”
Artist: Robert Haas and LaDene Votruba

This week’s Monochrome Madness 2 I selected an image from a recent day I spent birding in the Pacific Flyway. The Pacific Flyway is a section of CA. that is part of the Winter migration path used by birds fleeing the cold months in the Winter.
These are Black-necked Stilts, and Long billed Dowagers foraging for food.
I was trying out the Tamron 150-600mm super telephoto lens this week-end for the extra reach which was nice to have, but I won’t be saying much about the lens because I wasn’t able to use it as much as I had hoped. We had rain come in which kept me indoors the following day instead of out photographing birds. I won’t complain too much since we need all the rain we can get. 🙂
I’m really behind reading blog posts, but am catching up ever so slowly.
