Christmas cheer

Holiday Bokeh

I was quite inspired by the Pioneer Woman's latest photography assignment: Holiday Bokeh.  I took the opportunity to snap some photos of my own holiday decorations, with the bokeh theme in mind.  Let me know what you think!

This isn't my favorite of the bunch, but I still love it because it is a picture of a 70 year old Christmas ornament given to me by a wonderful woman named Scoter.

I have a good collection of these little adorable angels that belonged to my grandmother.

Another special item- I copy of a Christmas Carol from the 1920's given to me by my grandmother.

My favorite of the bunch- I made this little penguin last year when I learned how to needle felt.

Holiday Lights

The holiday lights at Manito Park's Gaiser Conservatory are a wonderful tradition that we enjoy every Christmas.

Winter's arrival

In a matter of a few short weeks, winter arrived...we have had a record snowfall for November.  It is easy to get frustrated with the shoveling and driving hassles, but then you just have to take a minute to look around...

Chaps

Chaps is one of our favorite places for Saturday morning breakfast...there are so many wonderful eats, plus a funky decor that is great for photographing!  Don't miss them on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives on Monday, November 1st on the Food Network!  PS...Catfish, the above picture is for you!

Photo challenge

I am trying out another photo challenge from Aspire...still not sure what the results were on the last one, but I'll try again!  Here is the photo I submitted for the theme "falling in love with autumn."
