Here is one from me. We all have colds, hence the bad faces but it was the only day we had snow cover the back yard, therefore, I made everyone come out and lay down in the snow, not a lot of happy people. Luckily I have a drone, which is the perfect tool for this sort of shot. Yes there was a lot of work for me in Photoshop, but it was fun.

East Liverpool, Ohio is a run-down, depressed town and our church is located in a rather poor part of it. Every year a group of us goes caroling in the neighborhood to share Christmas with those living there.

Just a couple of store displays. Santa reminded me of an old fashioned display. The "tree" is actually a dress, which I thought was creative for the dress shop.

My aunt use to bake an angle food cake and place a manger on top. The whole family stood around the cake and sang Happy Birthday to Jesus
I told this to my work mates and one young women ask why would you sing happy birthday. I was speechless and couldn't answer her. When she passed at 94 the tradition stopped.

Neat! I am interested in drone photos, too! Don't know much about it it but it is fascinating to see them!
