I sold two more of my abstracts this week and I have no reserves. As you know I have been working on a series of photos with my pendant as the main subject. I get my inspiration from music that I listen to. So here are three that I will print out, mat and frame.
"Where There is Smoke There is Fire"
"Don't Forget to Dance"
"It Always Will Be"

So maybe not your best shots - but certainly among your best memories and wonderful to see. Interesting how many have such different memories, traditions and at the same time how many of us have similar memories and traditions.

I had my own shop and restored many cars, then I worked for dealerships and did most of the old stuff mainly Jaguars.
Been to Moosehead Lake many times, had a relative with a float plane there.
My dad was stationed at a number of lights, Rockland Breakwater, Monhegan Island, Whitehead, Deer Island Thorofare, Moose Peak, Mark Island.
I scanned about 4000 slides my Dad took back then, he is a pretty avid photographer.

Such memories, Bob.J. What a gift too - all those memories he captured. Been to Monhegan, Rockland. Squaw Mtn has been renamed to be more politically correct....Big Moose Mountain. But everyone still calls it Big Squaw.

As I reported earlier, on Christmas Day evening the winds came up & blew 70 mph. Here are a couple of the BIG pine trees from our neighborhood
that laid down on their sides due to the wind.... These were 30-40 ft. tall trees!

That's a shame, Lavonne! I love evergreens-shelter for so many birds!

[quote=judy juul]For us it's been, as you know, a Super Christmas season....The trip to California and the advent of the delivery of our 9th Grand, Nathan! So I'll post some of
those pictures as a starter and hope you can think of examples you might have that are either current or of old! Have fun and show us your stuff!...:)[/quote
That is definitely a memorable one for you all for sure. Our first grandson is a Nathan.
Memorable Christmas brings to mind so many from childhood in Coon Holler, parenthood, to grandparenthood. Most recently a couple years back when the "Elf on the Shelf" got real popular at the daughter's household, the elf was moving all over the house every night. The kids were having a lot of fun finding which shelf in the house the little guy had moved to overnight and they were instructed not to touch him. Well the morning of the night before, the night before, the night before Christmas (that would be the eve of the eve of Christmas Eve) little Claire found him and as instructed left him. Daughter got home from work anticipating some family arrival and turned the oven on to preheat for pizza she had planned before changing out of her work attire..........

….yep you guessed it, Elf on the Wrong Shelf.
This year as I pulled up the drive at their place I spied a much smarter version of the Elf. He wasn’t trusting anyone in the house and found a high spot on a string of lights spanning over the driveway where no one could reach him.
