It was 8pm last night, and I hadn't taken any pictures.  Something got me thinking about this reindeer that I bought years ago still being wrapped up in the attic.  So I went up and grabbed him for an impromptu photo shoot with Johnny.  This was taken in our bonus room with my bed comforter thrown over the couch to provide the dark background.  I bumped up the contrast in this shot to smooth out the black some.  And, I cropped it square.  We had such a delightful time for 15 minutes singing Christmas carols and him giggling and posing and riding the reindeer:-)  One of my other favs is here:

I think I like the white pompom on the end of the hat showing in that one.

Maybe more on the reindeer tomorrow.  There is more to the story.

I sent Mr. Gerberich an e-mail with a link to the collage to see what he thinks of the elf.  Thanks to those that stopped by to see our project:-)

Rain this weekend, enough of a break to get the dog and us out of the house for a short period of time…

This post processed image was captured yesterday while walking on beautiful sunny day.  The local natural landscape is now very stark with the leaves mostly gone or brown and the dormant grass a light tan tone.

just a mason jar in blue glass.... it's maybe a 1/2 gallon in size?  

Thank you all so very very much for your generous comments on my brief clock  parts series!  I posted a link to more pictures in yesterday's description.. here it is again, if you are interested:  http://joda.smugmug.com/Photography/So-that-everything-does-not/10641847_fhTc4#740240179_FkjWV

Have a deeeelightful day!
DailyPhotos > popular today > "Boat-tailed Grackle...male"
Day 287, Tuesday, December 15

At first I was a little confused about this bird.... because of his dark eye color.  A rare, Shiny Cowbird I thought ????
But then I read that the eye color can range from dark to yellow and realized it was a male Boat-tailed Grackle.  (We have a lot of these..... but none have yellow eyes.)

As opposed to the female in yesterdays Daily, the males are noisy and gather in groups .... and when the sun shines on them just right.... they have a beautiful iridescent color.  

View X2, X3 to appreciate the color,
Norm

Ps... It appears there was some problem with my posted Daily yesterday... and it disappeared from the list about 10am yesterday morning. (Neither I nor Smugmug could figure out why....),  So if you missed it..... and want to see the female Grackle, completely different in appearance.... click on the... "This is my Complete Journal" link below.

Not quite as grand as yesterday's shot, but still quaint.

Thanks for all your comments yesterday, I am behind again, but will catch up later today all being well.  All your comments are greatly appreciated.

Here is a Dickens Village scene I shot yesterday in my studio.  Getting ready to put these out and I wanted a picture and to see what the cats would do with these..  Have to leave off the snow as this is not good for them and knowing Marco he will sample

Thanks for all the wonderful comments yesterday!  I greatly appreciate the comments on the wall art 
I am on the road again today, so I will get some comments when I get to work and later when I get home.  

Have a great day!
