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:-)

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.

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

Cold blooded- nothing is better than letting the mind surf the clear sky in the fresh fields for a calm, peaceful relaxing moment.  

It is true, life is too short to hibernate, even when it is -32C.  I try taking every chance I get to be outside, I hate the cold but I'll brave it for some fresh air
