Merry Christmas!

Lol, those of you who know me, know that I love photographing owls. Needless to say, my daughter, with her brilliant ability to choose gifts that are exactly right for each person, found this perfect little wooden Christmas tree ornament for me and gave it to me on 21st December, when we had our Christmas get-together, spent SE of the city with our cameras. I was playing around on my computer last night and somehow ended up with this 'drawing' and decided there was something about it that I liked - and then I couldn't decide whether to post the red version or this one. Ended up posting both.

I hope everyone who celebrates Christmas is having, or has had, a lovely day. Thanks to the freshly fallen snow yesterday, we have a white Christmas here, unlike last Christmas.. The sun is shining, the sky is blue, and the temperature is -18C (windchill -24C). Brrrr!

For many people, Christmas is a very difficult time, for various reasons. My thoughts are with them and, as always, with those who for one reason or another will spend Christmas alone. To those of you who don't celebrate Christmas, I hope you have a happy day, anyway.

Wishing you all a HAPPY CHRISTMAS and all the very best in the New Year! If you will be on the road, please don't drink and drive!
