Steph, I love your horse photos...the first one has the motion and the second is so whimsical.
rafysamir, I love the photos from Kews gardens. That must be a spectacular place.
samercury, what is that - a fungi? I think it looks really neat.
Maddy, I always love your photos; these are no exception. The first beach one is so sharp and detailed...I love it!
The second one looks so cool with
the ghosted photo of the ship in the background...nice work as usual.
Some more photos from me ~ Christmas wouldn't be complete without miniature trains...
Here's my son, the tech man, at the controls.

One of two platforms he built...I am sure the village will grow with time...

"Watching Daddy's train go by..."

Second Christmas Tree and second train platform...

Note: See prior page for more photos of my granddaughter, Brooke....

Thanks Daniel, and that is just his little artificial tree but he told me he wanted to make it look sort of 50ish...it's got colored lights but all blue and gold ornaments. He has a full size real tree in the living room; I forgot to get a photo of that one. Did you see the photos on the prior page of my sweet little granddaughter? I think they turned out really cute. I am finally enjoying my new camera. But, right now, I am trying to figure out how to convert a video (from the same camera) into some reasonable format to upload to Photobucket. Do you or anyone else know how I go about this?

Yep, it was a snow storm. Hopefully my back won't hurt tomorrow from all the shoveling. 
How adorable. Granny and Brooke. Wonderful pictures Janine.

Errr, idk, sorry
or at least I've forgotten. . . . .. if it comes back to me I'll make sure to tell you.
Stunning pictures Niamh! I particuarly love the snowy ones. You have a perfect sense of composition and texture

Janine, Brooke's very cute, love the bonding shot, you look great. Toy trains fascinate me, thanks for the photos.

Thanks Virgil and Haunted. I love the trains too...they seem like a magical sort of thing running around a Christmas tree. Haunted thank you so much for the compliment; but that time of day I wasn't at my best; I was really tired. I think Brooke was nodding off, as well. She liked the dollar animal book, I brought her more than the involved Christmas story; but luckily she did sit still for a few minutes when my son snapped the photo.

Hi Niamh, shall I send you some? haha...I should gone outside the night of the storm and photographed but it was blowing and would have gotten into my new camera lens. It was just gorgeous and awesomely deep that night. It also was totally frigid and I didn't really have the desire to subject myself to those temperatures...better to stay warm and cozy in the house.
Thanks for looking at Brooke's photos. She is quite hard to photograph anymore; toddlers this age are very active. I am lucky to have gotten these half dozen shots. I will take more on Christmas Eve and Day...we are going up there both times; hopefully weather will permit it! Brooke is my little Irish rose; at least on her dad's side. She is half Jewish and she now is getting so spoiled - everyday a Hannakuh gift for 8 days....and Christmas gifts are yet to come.....she has the best of both worlds...lucky kid!

When you get snow there does it last very long? I am just curious.

Janine, if you were tired, I wouldn't be able to tell. I thought you look exquisite and I hope Brooke will take after you. oh BTW her eyelashes are incredible!

Wonderful additions, I must say!
Brooke has surely grown bigger than when I last saw her, but never any less beautiful!
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
